ASSESSMENT 1

Pre-11+ Readiness Assessment (Year 3–4)

Is your child ready to start 11+ preparation?

Find out before you commit to a programme. Starting 11+ prep too early – before the underlying English and Maths foundations are solid – can do more harm than good, turning what should be confidence-building practice into frustration.

This assessment isn't an 11+ exam simulation; it's a straightforward check of whether your Year 3 or Year 4 child currently has the literacy and numeracy foundations in place to begin a structured 11+ programme, and if not, what to work on first.
English Readiness Assessment

At booking, please tell us: your child's current year group (Year 3 or Year 4) and school, so the assessment is benchmarked correctly for their age.

What's included:
  • Conducted entirely online — book a time that suits your family, anywhere in the world, no need to travel
  • Delivered by one of our top English tutors, selected and matched to your family's secondary school choices
  • Individually tailored to your child — not a generic test, but a session shaped around their current level and specific school/exam interests
  • A diagnostic covering reading comprehension, vocabulary range, spelling, grammar, and basic written expression, benchmarked against what's typically expected for your child's age and year group
  • Identification of any foundational gaps that would make early 11+-style verbal reasoning and comprehension work premature or counter-productive
  • A clear written report: ready to begin 11+ prep now, or which specific foundations to build first
  • Practical, low-pressure recommendations for the coming months – reading habits, vocabulary building, writing practice – appropriate to a Year 3/4 child 


Follow-up report: Yes — every assessment comes with a detailed written report summarising results, findings, and recommended next steps, sent to you after the session.

Price: £70 

Best for: parents of Year 3–4 children who are considering starting 11+ preparation and want an honest, evidence-based view of timing.

ASSESSMENT 2

11+ Progress Diagnostic — Independent Check (Year 4–5)

Already in the middle of 11+ preparation? Get an honest, independent check on whether your child is actually on track.

For children already working through 11+ preparation – whether with a tutor or self-study – it's easy to lose objectivity on real progress.

This diagnostic gives you an independent, evidence-based assessment of where your child genuinely stands against their target exam timeline, with a full written follow-up report rather than just a score.
English Progress Diagnostic

At booking, please tell us: your child's target school(s) and/or exam board (GL Assessment, ISEB, Cambridge Select Insight, or a named school with its own bespoke format) – this determines exactly which paper style and timing we assess against.

What's included:
  • Conducted entirely online – book a time that suits your family, anywhere in the world, no need to travel
  • Delivered by one of our top English tutors, selected and matched to your family's secondary school choices
  • Individually tailored to your child's specific target school and current stage of preparation
  • An independent evaluation of comprehension, vocabulary, SPaG, and writing skills against the standard expected at exam time
  • A detailed follow-up report covering current standing, trajectory against the timeline to exam day, and specific areas needing attention
  • Clear, actionable recommendations – whether that's staying the current course, adjusting focus areas, or reconsidering pacing


Follow-up report: Yes – every diagnostic comes with a detailed written report covering results, trajectory against your child's exam timeline, and specific recommendations, sent to you after the session.

Price: £70

Best for: Year 4–5 families already in an 11+ preparation programme who want an unbiased check that progress is genuinely on track.

Maths Progress Diagnostic

At booking, please tell us: your child's target school(s) and/or exam board (GL Assessment, ISEB, Cambridge Select Insight, or a named school with its own bespoke format) – this determines exactly which paper style, question mix (multiple-choice vs. written-answer), and timing we assess against.

What's included:
  • Conducted entirely online – book a time that suits your family, anywhere in the world, no need to travel
  • Delivered by one of our top Maths tutors, selected and matched to your family's secondary school choices
  • Individually tailored to your child's specific target school and current stage of preparation
  • A detailed follow-up report covering current standing, trajectory against the timeline to exam day, and specific topics or techniques needing attention
  • Clear, actionable recommendations for the months ahead

Price: £70

Best for: Year 4–5 families already in an 11+ preparation programme who want a genuinely independent view of readiness, particularly useful ahead of registration deadlines or a change in target school.

ASSESSMENT 3

Personal Statement Diagnostics & Review

Turn a good personal statement into one that genuinely stands out.

The personal statement is one of the most personal, high-stakes pieces of writing your child will produce for their university application. It's easy to either undersell genuine strengths or fall into generic, formulaic phrasing that admissions tutors read hundreds of times over.

This service combines focused one-to-one diagnostic sessions with a dedicated proofreading pass. It is tailored entirely to your child's own voice, subject choice, and target universities.

At booking, please tell us: your child's intended course(s) and target university/universities (UK, US, or other systems, as relevant), and the current stage of their statement.
What's included:

  • Conducted entirely online – book a time that suits your family, anywhere in the world, no need to travel
  • Delivered by one of our specialist personal statement consultants, matched to your child's subject and target universities
  • One-to-one online diagnostic sessions working through structure, content, and how to authentically convey your child's genuine interest and suitability for their chosen course
  • A dedicated hour of detailed proofreading – grammar, clarity, tone, and flow – once the statement is close to final
  • Honest, specific feedback throughout, focused on making the statement sound like your child, not like everyone else's 


Price: £70 per session. 1-4 sessions are recommended.

Best for: Year 12–13 students preparing UCAS or international university applications who want expert, personalised guidance on their personal statement.
