A clear, tailored learning plan for Buckinghamshire 11 Plus success
Preparing for a selective school application takes careful planning, regular practice and expert guidance. Our live online lessons help children in Years 3, 4 and 5 across the TQ2, TQ3, TQ4 and TQ5 postcode areas build the knowledge, confidence and examination techniques required for Torbay Grammar School entrance assessments, including those for Churston Ferrers Grammar School and Torquay Boys’ Grammar School, through structured teaching and personalised support.
Learning takes place entirely online, allowing pupils to access specialist tuition without leaving home. This makes it easier for families across Paignton to balance lessons with school, hobbies and other weekly activities.
Why Families in Paignton Arrange 11 Plus Tuition
Primary school provides an excellent foundation, but Grammar School entrance assessments often require pupils to apply their knowledge in unfamiliar ways and within strict time limits. Extra preparation helps children develop the confidence and techniques needed for these more demanding papers.
Why Long-Term Preparation Benefits Paignton Pupils
Developing examination skills over a longer period usually leads to stronger and more consistent progress. Building knowledge steadily throughout the preparation period allows children to approach the GL Assessments examination feeling confident and well prepared.
For Year 7 entry, the Admission Policy 2026-2027 states that Churston Ferrers Grammar School has a PAN of 160 places. Eligible children with an EHCP that formally names the School will be admitted under separate statutory procedures and before places are allocated under the oversubscription criteria. The number of places available for allocation will be reduced accordingly.
Torquay Boys’ Grammar School: The published admission number for Year 7 entry is 168. Selection is based purely on ranked, age-standardised core exam results.
Admission to Torquay Boys’ Grammar School is highly competitive. Rather than using a fixed pass mark, schools assess applicants using age-standardised scores, meaning that strong preparation can make a significant difference.
Because of that, beginning tuition well in advance gives children time to build secure English and Maths skills and become familiar with the GL Assessments format, helping them approach the examination with greater confidence.
