Hall Grove School Private Tutors

Hall Grove School uses its own entrance tests, focusing on English and Mathematics. These assessments are designed to evaluate academic ability and potential.

Registration for Year 7 must be completed with a £200 non-refundable fee.

Admissions are selective, based on an entrance exam and Interviews.

11+ Maths and English covers all KS2 objectives, including Year 6. Focusing on Maths topics such as number, measurement, ratio and proportion, geometry, algebra and statistics, will be beneficial. Spelling, grammar, punctuation, inference skills will be good to focus on for English.

The best way to prepare for 11 plus exams is to complete practice papers. This allows your child to understand the exam format, experience the questions first hard and master the skill of working under timed conditions. 

Our 11+ practice tests are carefully researched and regularly updated to align with any changes to entrance exams requirements. Sparkling Minds Tuition practice papers are designed to challenge students to reflect the competitive demands of the real papers. They provide an accurate and effective preparation experience.

It is extremely important for your child to have a high understanding of the different maths and English topics that could come up. Make sure they are practicing topics they struggle with to  improve before completing countless practice papers, otherwise they will not understand how to break down and answer certain questions. 

At Sparkling Minds Tuition, we offer breakdowns explaining what your child specifically needs to focus on, detailed videos going through the topics with your child, multiple worksheets per topic to practice and of course practice papers.
