Year 5 Online Small Group Ten-Week Course (Spring Term 2027)

Give Your Child the Competitive Edge for 11+ and ISEB Success

While English and Maths are central to the school curriculum, Reasoning is a key component of many competitive school entrance assessments . Reasoning as a standalone subject is not part of the National Curriculum . As a result, children often have limited opportunities to develop and practise the specific skills required for these tests.

Our specialist course is designed to bridge this gap, equipping children with the skills, strategies and confidence they need , building up to a secure and steady approach the ISEB Pre-Test, 11+ entrance examinations (Such as 11+ Consortium Test) and CAT4 assessments .

Through carefully structured lessons, we focus on:

• Verbal, Non-Verbal and Spatial Reasoning – the main focus of the course

• Mathematical Reasoning and Problem-Solving – developing logical thinking and the application of mathematical knowledge

• Comprehension – strengthening analytical and inferential skills

• Vocabulary Development – broadening language skills essential for both English and Verbal Reasoning

Our small-group sessions encourage children to think independently, approach unfamiliar questions with confidence and develop effective strategies for tackling challenging assessments.

Nimble Minds has been preparing children for competitive entrance assessments since 2018, with an excellent record of success. This course will be taught by Laura Parkinson.

With a maximum of just six children per group , we ensure that every child receives individual attention and support.
