Teignmouth doesn’t have its own Grammar School, but it is well connected to the three Torbay Grammar Schools: Torquay Boys’ Grammar School, Torquay Girls’ Grammar School, and Churston Ferrers Grammar School. With the Torbay Consortium, children only need to take one test to apply to all three schools. The test has two GL Assessment multiple-choice papers in English and Maths. There are no Verbal or Non-Verbal Reasoning sections, just two papers on the subjects children already know from school.
We support children in Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5 in Teignmouth and the TQ14 area with Grammar School preparation. Our live online 11 Plus tuition offers flexibility, making it easy to fit sessions around school and beach activities.
Why Families in Teignmouth Choose 11 Plus Tuition
The Torbay test only covers English and Maths, but that does not mean preparation is straightforward. These are the things that bring Teignmouth parents to us:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Teignmouth Families
Teignmouth is well connected to the Torbay Grammar Schools, but there is no local priority for these schools. All places are awarded based solely on test scores, and children from across South Devon compete for them.
The Torbay Consortium 11 Plus, created by GL Assessment, includes two multiple-choice papers in English and Maths. Each paper lasts about 50 minutes. There are no Verbal or Non-Verbal Reasoning sections. Scores are age-standardised so younger children are not at a disadvantage. Registration for the 2026 test closes at midday on 4 September 2026, and the test takes place on Saturday 19 September 2026. Results come out in mid-October, and you need to submit the Common Application Form to Devon County Council by 31 October 2026.
Torquay Boys’ Grammar School has 168 Year 7 places for boys from all over South Devon. There is no catchment area, so places go to those with the highest age-standardised GL Assessment scores. Torquay Girls’ Grammar School offers 192 Year 7 places for September 2026. Admission is based only on academic ability in the 11 Plus test, and there are no catchment area restrictions.
Churston Ferrers Grammar School has 150 places and prioritises students from 15 Torbay feeder schools. Teignmouth children are not in this group and need a high GL Assessment score to get one of the remaining places. This makes competition in the TQ14 area especially tough.
This is why Teignmouth families who want a Grammar School place start preparing well before Year 6 and take both English and Maths preparation seriously from the start.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Teignmouth
We support families from the South Devon coast and Teignbridge, including Newton Abbot and Dawlish Warren, with our fully online programme. We help children at local primary schools such as Teignmouth Primary School and Our Lady and St Patrick’s Catholic Primary School, both well-known in the town.
We also work with families from nearby areas such as Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, and Newton Abbot, all within or close to the TQ14 postcode.
Most of the children who join us are in Years 3, 4, or 5. Many families in Teignmouth aim for Torquay Boys’ Grammar School or Torquay Girls’ Grammar School as their top choice.
Families living in Teignbridge submit their Common Application Form through Devon County Council. Always check the Torbay Council secondary admissions guidance for the latest test registration details.
We also provide 12 Plus and 13 Plus tuition for families considering grammar school entry at a later stage.
A Teignmouth Student Who Made Torquay Her Goal
A girl from Teignmouth could see Torquay Girls’ Grammar School from the coastal path. When she joined us in Year 4, she had never taken a timed English paper, and her answers were too short for the GL Assessment. Although Maths was her strength, she struggled with comprehension. We focused on improving her reading accuracy and answer technique before gradually introducing timed practice. By September of Year 6, her English scores matched her Maths, and she was able to keep up with the required speed.
11 Plus Maths
The GL Assessment Maths paper for the Torbay Consortium tests more than just classroom learning. It includes problem-solving questions that require careful thought. Our Maths sessions cover numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, algebra, geometry, and data. We focus on building reasoning skills and speed for the 50-minute multiple-choice exam. Each session practices answer checking and time management, which are crucial since each question has only one correct answer.
11 Plus English
The GL Assessment English paper tests reading comprehension and language skills through multiple-choice questions. Students must read each passage carefully, understand the questions, and select the best answer under time pressure. Our sessions focus on attentive reading, finding text evidence, and considering word meanings and tone. We also cover vocabulary, spelling, punctuation, and grammar to ensure children are well-prepared for all types of questions on the test.
