Have a Year 3, 4 or 5 child? We may be able to help you.
If you have a child in any of those year groups and you are targeting a grammar school as your child's preferred secondary school, you have come to the right place. Comment your child's year below and I will give you a few options we have so you can get a direction to help them prepare well. We have resources that will guide you and make you think about things you didn't know before. Comment your child's year group below.

Comprehension is For LIFE
A parent messaged me to ask about the free comprehension techniques document I put together. Well done, proactive parent!! ⭐️🥰 It has ideas, it is boring but if you can take one thing away from it and IMPLEMENT it, it’ll change the way your child approaches and scores in comprehension. And it is FREE. I don’t do free things anymore because if you don’t pay, you don’t pay attention. If you don’t have skin in the game, you say you’ll do something and you don’t. If you say you’ll show up chances are you don’t because you think you are not loosing anything even if you don’t. But But this one document I’m giving away for free because I want you to take ONE thing from it and APPLY it to your child’s work this weekend. I keep saying this that it is not just tests that we are preparing for but in fact it IS TESTS THAT MOST OF YOU HERE ARE PREPARING FOR. Or rather preparing your children for. The approach you need to take is different. You trick your brain to think long term. Think this way. You are doing it so your child can understand how to read something and take away from the text. For GCSES, for emails they’ll get, for understanding the writing on the wall, for understanding what’s not written. For LIFE. Because this test will help you for life. And remember grammar schools may not be everyone but 11 plus prep certainly is. And COMPREHENSION skills certainly are!! You can get the comprehension techniques doc by filling out this simple form https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/tyhsaztkDWwahmC3aAzN Have a good day!

Vocab and Comprehension: Silent Marks Killer in the 11+ Exam
💡 Did you know? Many children lose marks in comprehension – not because they can’t read, but because they don’t understand the question itself. 📌 The biggest mistake? They see a question like: "What impression does the writer give about the character?"…and they answer with facts from the text rather than explaining the implied meaning. This is why comprehension skills matter! 🚨Your child needs to: ✅ Recognise how different question types work ✅ Learn the difference between fact, inference & opinion ✅ Use a structured approach to answering for full marks 📚 In our Vocabulary & Comprehension Workshop, @Dale Jenkins will teach: ✔️ How to confidently tackle tricky questions ✔️ The exact strategies used by top-performing students ✔️ How to boost vocabulary to avoid misinterpreting words 📅 Feb 17–20 | 3PM – 4PM (online)⏳ Limited spaces available! 🔗 Sign up here
