King Edward’s Witley School Private Tutors

King Edward’s Witley uses the ISEB Common Pre-Test for 11+ admissions. This assessment evaluates English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning, and Non-Verbal Reasoning to assess a student’s academic readiness.

Registration for Year 7 must be completed by November with a £180 non-refundable fee.

Students will then sit the ISEB Common Pre-Test and take part in an interview.

Offers will be sent by the end of January.

The 11+ assessment consists of the ISEB Common Pre-Test, an online exam evaluating:

• Maths & English – Assessing numeracy, problem-solving, and comprehension skills.
• Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning – Testing logical thinking, vocabulary, and pattern recognition.

The test focuses on how students think and respond to the curriculum.

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.

No, King Edward’s Witley does not have a catchment area. Instead, entry is determined on 11+ test scores.
