A clear, tailored learning plan for Buckinghamshire 11 Plus success
Because no Grammar Schools operate within the Royal Borough itself, Windsor families who want selective secondary education look to Reading, where Reading School for boys and Kendrick School for girls are two of the most sought-after state Grammar Schools in the South East. Adnan Khan Tutoring runs live online 11 Plus lessons for children in Years 3 to 5 in Windsor, SL4, and the surrounding SL5 postcodes, preparing them for both schools’ separate entrance exams.
Windsor families can access structured 11 Plus preparation entirely online, allowing learning from home without travel and with convenient scheduling around everyday commitments. And according to the Royal Borough’s school admissions guidance, Windsor families applying for Grammar Schools must submit their applications through their home local authority or directly to the relevant Reading school.
Why Families in Windsor Choose 11 Plus Tuition
A growing number of families in Windsor explore 11 Plus support when they realise how competitive Grammar School entry has become for Reading’s selective schools. It is usually one or more of these situations.
Why 11 Plus Preparation Matters for Windsor Families
In Windsor, entry to Grammar School is highly competitive, with children typically applying to selective schools outside the borough. Effective preparation is therefore crucial for success.
Each year, Reading School admits 150 boys through its FSCE examination, a four-paper format that assesses English, Mathematics, and Creative Writing. As Wokingham’s RG40 and RG41 postcodes lie outside the nearest catchment zone, applicants from these areas usually sit the September out-of-catchment test instead of the July in-catchment exam.
Girls applying to Kendrick School compete for 128 Year 7 places through a two-paper GL Assessment entrance test. The examination assesses English, Verbal Reasoning, Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning, with each paper lasting roughly one hour. Wokingham’s RG40 and RG41 postcodes sit within Priority Area 2. Because Priority Area 1 applicants are prioritised when applications exceed available places, Wokingham candidates need to perform exceptionally well.
Competition for entry to both schools is intense. Kendrick School typically receives over eight applications per place, and the qualifying aggregate standardised score is usually around 100. However, reaching this benchmark does not guarantee admission, as offers are made based on each school’s admissions policy. Windsor applicants submit their applications through the Royal Borough’s admissions system or their own local authority.
Given the intense competition for selective Year 7 admissions and the limited number of places available, many families in Windsor begin 11 Plus preparation early with the help of expert tuition.
Students We Support for the 11 Plus in Windsor
We support families across Windsor’s SL4 1, SL4 2, SL4 3, SL4 4, SL4 5 and SL4 6 postcodes, including children from Old Windsor, Clewer, Dedworth and the streets around Windsor town centre, as well as families in nearby Datchet in SL3 and Eton in SL4 6. Local primary schools we regularly work with include Clewer Green CofE First School and Dedworth Green First School, among others across the area.
We also support families a short drive away in Wokingham and Bierton through separate online 11 Plus preparation pathways tailored to their local schools and registration windows.
Our Windsor cohort mainly consists of Years 3 to 5 students who are aiming for selective places at Reading School or Kendrick School.
For September 2027 entry, Reading School registration opens in March 2026 and closes in May 2026. Kendrick School registration opens on 1 May 2026 and closes at midnight on 1 July 2026, with the entrance test on 18 September 2026 and results before 31 October 2026. Both schools must be named on the common application form submitted to your home local authority by 31 October 2026. Always confirm current dates directly with each school.
For those Windsor families who prefer a later Grammar School route, we provide structured 12 Plus and 13 Plus tuition options.
The Step-by-Step Journey of a Windsor Student in 11 Plus Preparation
Joining us at the start of Year 4, a Windsor boy set his sights on Reading School. While confident in Maths, he was less familiar with FSCE English and Creative Writing. Through eighteen months of consistent weekly sessions, exam-style writing practice, and targeted feedback on every paper, he gradually built the depth of comprehension and writing skills needed for Reading School’s four-paper assessment, approaching the September out-of-catchment exam with strong preparation.
11 Plus Maths
Rather than relying solely on drills, our Maths sessions emphasise problem-solving and exam strategy. Students develop a systematic approach to number work, algebra, geometry, and data interpretation, while also practising exam techniques such as showing all steps and double-checking answers to minimise mistakes in timed conditions.
11 Plus English
Reading School English includes longer-form tasks like analytical comprehension and creative writing, which are more advanced than typical GL Assessment-style questions. In our lessons, students develop close reading, inference, structured essay writing, and creative skills, alongside the vocabulary and punctuation accuracy required for Kendrick School’s comprehension and verbal reasoning paper.
11 Plus Verbal Reasoning
Verbal Reasoning appears in Kendrick’s GL Assessment paper and in Reading School’s verbal analysis sections. Our programme develops skills in analogies, sequences, word codes, and language reasoning in a structured way, with timed practice introduced progressively to improve both speed and accuracy.
11 Plus Non-Verbal Reasoning
Non-Verbal Reasoning is a key component of Kendrick’s entrance test, though many children are not exposed to it early on. We gradually develop an understanding of shape sequences, pattern recognition, rotations, reflections, and matrix puzzles, building the visual reasoning skills needed to approach new question types confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who provides online 11 Plus tuition in Windsor?
We support children in Years 3 to 5 in Windsor with live, one-to-one online 11 Plus tuition designed to prepare them for selection exams at Reading School and Kendrick School.
Are there any Grammar Schools in Windsor itself?
No. The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead’s school admissions guidance confirms that all secondary schools in the borough are comprehensive. Windsor families seeking Grammar School entry apply to schools in neighbouring authorities, primarily Reading School and Kendrick School in Reading.
Is Windsor SL4 in the Kendrick School designated area?
Yes. Windsor’s SL4 postcode falls within Kendrick School’s Priority Area 2 designated area. Girls in Priority Area 1 (central Reading, Caversham, and Earley) are prioritised above Priority Area 2 candidates when the school is oversubscribed. No girl living outside the designated area has been offered a place since 2013.
How is the Kendrick School exam structured?
Kendrick School uses a two-paper GL Assessment format, each paper approximately one hour long, covering English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. The test took place on 18 September 2026.
How is the Reading School exam structured?
Reading School uses its own four-paper FSCE format covering English, Maths and Creative Writing. In-catchment boys sit in July; Windsor’s out-of-catchment boys sit in September 2026.
When should my child start 11 Plus tuition in Windsor?
Year 3 or Year 4 gives the most time to cover both test formats thoroughly, especially given the different preparation needed for Reading School’s written papers and Kendrick’s GL Assessment format.
Do you run 11 Plus mock exams?
Yes. We provide timed mock exams for both the GL Assessment format used by Kendrick and the FSCE format used by Reading School, so students go into their real tests already familiar with the pace and conditions.
