Why Tring Families Start Looking for 11 Plus Support
As competition for selective school places continues to increase, many Tring families choose to start structured 11 Plus preparation early. Parents typically seek support in one or more of these situations:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Tring Families
Families in Tring looking towards selective secondary education face a competitive admissions process. With the right preparation, children can develop the skills and confidence needed to approach selective tests successfully.
Queens’ School is a mixed comprehensive school in Bushey for children aged 11-18. The published admission number (PAN) for Year 7 will be 270. St Clement Danes School’s Published Admission Number (PAN) is 240.
St Clement Danes School: 662 applicants applied under the Academic Ability test. Scores ranged from 271 (highest) down to 138 (lowest). 24 places were awarded under this criterion. The lowest score allocated a place on 2nd March 2026 is 215.
According to Queen’s School’s admission policy, if there are fewer applications than places available, the school will allocate places to all applicants. If the school receives more applications than it has places available, places will be allocated according to the oversubscription criteria.
These admission challenges and the demand for selective school places are why many Tring families invest in early, structured 11 Plus support to help their children reach their potential.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Tring
Our online 11 Plus preparation supports children throughout Tring and the wider local area, including surrounding Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire communities such as Aldbury, Wigginton, Long Marston, Wilstone, Marsworth, and Pitstone, across HP23 4, HP23 5, HP23 6, HP4, and LU6. Adnan Khan Tutoring works with students from local primary schools, including Dundale Primary School and Nursery, Grove Road Primary School, and Long Marston Church of England Primary School.
Alongside supporting Tring families, we also work with children across the wider Dacorum and Chilterns area, including Berkhamsted and Chorleywood, through personalised online 11 Plus learning pathways.
These children are typically in Years 3, 4 or 5. They are building the Maths and Verbal Reasoning skills needed for selective entry to schools such as Watford Grammar School for Boys, Watford Grammar School for Girls, Parmiter’s School, St Clement Danes School, Queen’s School or Rickmansworth School.
For September 2027 entry, SWHSC registration has now closed. Parents should refer to the South West Herts Schools Consortium website for current guidance. The Common Application Form deadline for Hertfordshire County Council is 31 October 2026.
Children in Tring who plan to apply to Grammar School after Year 7 can also benefit from our structured 12 Plus and 13 Plus tuition programmes.
How a Tring Student Prepared for the South West Herts 11 Plus
Following an initial assessment, a child from Tring joined our programme with secure knowledge of Key Stage 2 Maths but limited exposure to Grammar School entrance exam questions. Over 18 months of structured tuition, regular practice and timed mock papers, the pupil strengthened Verbal Reasoning skills and became more confident under exam conditions.
11 Plus Maths
Set by GL Assessment, the SWHSC Maths paper lasts approximately 50 minutes and covers Key Stage 2 topics such as number, geometry, measurement, statistics and algebraic reasoning. While based on the national curriculum, the paper requires children to think critically and work efficiently under time pressure. Our lessons develop problem-solving confidence, improve speed and accuracy, and teach pupils how to approach multiple-choice questions strategically. Visit our 11 Plus Preparation page to learn more.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
The South West Herts Schools Consortium entrance test includes a 50-minute multiple-choice Verbal Reasoning paper produced by GL Assessment. Designed to assess logical thinking using language, it features question types such as analogies, coded words, letter patterns and vocabulary relationships. Our programme introduces each format gradually, helping children to recognise common GL Assessment patterns and improve their speed and accuracy through consistent, timed practice. The SWHSC assessment does not include Non-Verbal Reasoning, allowing pupils to focus on the two subjects that are tested.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who provides online 11 Plus tuition in Tring, Hertfordshire?
Our live online 11 Plus lessons are available to children in Years 3, 4, and 5 across Tring and nearby HP23 villages. In line with the South West Herts Schools Consortium test specification, the programme prepares pupils for both GL Assessment multiple-choice papers in Maths and Verbal Reasoning.
Does Tring have its own Grammar Schools?
No. Tring sits in the Dacorum district of Hertfordshire, which has no Grammar Schools. Families in Tring seeking selective state secondary education apply through the South West Herts Schools Consortium, which includes six partially selective schools in Watford and Rickmansworth: Watford Grammar School for Boys, Watford Grammar School for Girls, Parmiter’s School, St Clement Danes School, Queens’ School and Rickmansworth School.
What does the South West Herts 11 Plus exam include?
The SWHSC academic test consists of two multiple-choice papers set by GL Assessment: a Mathematics paper (approximately 50 minutes) and a Verbal Reasoning paper (approximately 50 minutes). There is no Non-Verbal Reasoning or English writing element.
Is there a fixed pass mark for the South West Herts 11 Plus?
No. There is no set pass mark. Each SWHSC school allocates its selective Year 7 places in strict descending order of age-standardised combined score, subject to its own oversubscription criteria, which generally give priority first to siblings and children of staff. As a practical guide, children aiming for selective places at SWHSC schools should target 80% or above in GL-style practice papers.
When should a child in Tring start 11 Plus preparation?
We recommend starting in Year 3 or Year 4. This allows time for thorough, well-paced coverage of both SWHSC test subjects, Maths and Verbal Reasoning, alongside regular timed practice and full mock exams in the months leading up to the September test in Year 6. For children with no prior exposure to Verbal Reasoning, beginning early is particularly important.
What are the key dates for the South West Herts 11 Plus for 2027 Grammar School entry?
Registration with the South West Herts Schools Consortium opened on 1 April 2026 and closed on 5 June 2026. No late registrations are accepted. The Academic Ability Test is scheduled for Saturday, 5 September 2026. Results were released at noon on Thursday, 15 October 2026. The Common Application Form must be submitted to Hertfordshire County Council by 31 October 2026. National Offer Day is 1 March 2027.
Is online 11 Plus tuition effective for Tring families?
Yes. Live online lessons with screen sharing, real-time teaching and immediate feedback deliver the same quality of structured preparation as face-to-face tuition. For families in Tring, online preparation is especially practical; it removes the need to travel to Watford or Rickmansworth for lessons. Combined with regular homework and full-time mock exams, our programme gives children across HP23 focused, thorough preparation for the SWHSC Maths and Verbal Reasoning papers.
