Why Families in Walsall Choose 11 Plus Tuition
As competition for places at West Midlands Grammar Schools continues to increase, many Walsall parents decide to seek specialist 11 Plus preparation. Their reasons often include one or more of the following:
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Walsall Families
Queen Mary’s Grammar School and Queen Mary’s High School sit within the West Midlands Grammar Schools partnership, a consortium of selective schools across Birmingham, Shropshire, Walsall, Warwickshire and Wolverhampton preparation matters well beyond the borough boundary.
For the September 2027 entry, Queen Mary’s Grammar School has not yet published its final qualifying or offer scores. As a guide, for September 2026 entry the minimum qualifying score was 200, while the lowest score offered a place was 225. Because these scores can change each year depending on competition, families should aim for the highest score possible rather than simply meeting the minimum qualifying standard.
Queen Mary’s Grammar School welcomes 180 boys into Year 7 each September, while Queen Mary’s High School admits 150 girls through the same selective admissions process. Entry to both schools depends on achieving a competitive score in the West Midlands Grammar Schools entrance test.
Children must achieve the qualifying score to be eligible for consideration. Where more qualifying candidates apply than places are available, the school applies its oversubscription criteria.
With places allocated on academic performance rather than catchment area, and children competing from across the West Midlands, many families in Walsall choose to start structured 11 Plus preparation early.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Walsall
Children from Walsall and the surrounding areas, including Aldridge, Bloxwich, Pelsall, Rushall, Streetly, Darlaston, Brownhills, Willenhall and Walsall Wood, join our live online lessons each year. We work with families across WS1, WS2, WS3, WS4, WS5, WS8, WS9 and WS10, preparing pupils from local primary schools such as Cooper and Jordan CE Primary School in Aldridge, Pelsall Village School, Rushall Primary School and St Anne’s Catholic Primary School in Streetly.

Supporting a Walsall Student on Their 11 Plus Journey
One family in Walsall enrolled their child in Year 4 following an assessment that showed strong potential in Maths but identified opportunities to strengthen Non-Verbal Reasoning and comprehension pace. Over the next two years, structured lessons, timed practice papers and ongoing feedback helped him prepare more effectively for the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test.
11 Plus Maths
Rather than relying solely on repeated questions, our Maths programme develops deeper mathematical understanding. Students practise number, algebra, geometry and data handling, learning to work systematically and verify their answers to improve accuracy when every mark counts.
11 Plus English
Success in the West Midlands English and Verbal Reasoning paper depends on strong comprehension and precise vocabulary under time pressure. Our online lessons cover close reading, inference, spelling, punctuation and structured written responses, alongside targeted vocabulary work using synonyms, antonyms, prefixes and root words to build confidence across timed sections.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning teaching focuses on the coded and pattern-based question types that dominate the GL Assessment paper. Students practise analogies, letter and number sequences, code-breaking and word-relationship puzzles, building both accuracy and speed through regular timed exercises and past-paper-style practice.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
Non-Verbal Reasoning can feel unfamiliar at first, since it depends on visual logic rather than anything taught in a typical classroom. Our lessons train students to interpret shapes, identify hidden rules and work through spatial relationships confidently, using guided practice with rotations, reflections, codes, matrices and pattern transformations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who provides online 11 Plus tuition in Walsall?
Adnan Khan Tutoring delivers specialist live online 11 Plus tuition for Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5 children in Walsall, West Midlands. Every lesson is carefully aligned with the GL Assessment format used for the West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test.
What score does my child need to qualify for a Walsall Grammar School?
Neither Queen Mary’s Grammar School nor Queen Mary’s High School fixes a pass mark in advance. Governors set a Minimum Qualifying Score each year once results are in, based on age-standardised scores — for September 2025 entry, Queen Mary’s High School’s score was 198.
How is the West Midlands 11 Plus structured?
GL Assessment produces the test and consists of two multiple-choice papers, each roughly 50 to 60 minutes long, including instructions and sample questions. Together they assess Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics.
Does a strong score guarantee a place at Queen Mary's Grammar School or Queen Mary's High School?
No. A score at or above the year’s Minimum Qualifying Score simply makes a child eligible for consideration. If a school is oversubscribed among eligible candidates, priority goes first to looked-after children. Those eligible for Pupil Premium, before remaining places are allocated by rank order of score.
When should my child start 11 Plus tuition in Walsall?
We recommend beginning in Year 3 or Year 4, giving enough time to build genuine competence across Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning well before the Year 6 test date.
Is online 11 Plus tuition effective for Grammar School preparation?
Yes. Live online lessons combined with structured feedback, regular homework and timed mock practice give students full exam preparation without any need to travel.
Do you run 11 Plus mock exams?
Yes. We provide full-length, timed mock exams that mirror the GL Assessment format used by the West Midlands Grammar Schools consortium, helping students build technique, timing and confidence under real exam conditions.
