4/7/8+ School Entry Exams and Assessments
Most preparatory schools in London, and increasingly outside of
London, require children (age 6 or 7) to come to the school to take
a written, one-three hour exam (usually in January) prior to the
desired entry year. Our tutors are sensitive to the fact that these
children are very young. Care and attention is given to the fact
that the children need to feel confident and at ease with the process
as well as mastering the required levels of English and Maths (including
verbal and non-verbal reasoning). A supportive and nurturing approach
to teaching is most essential at this phase. Click

11+ Exams
Grammar Schools use this exam (usually set in November at the school)
for selecting children for admission in year 7, the first year of
secondary school. Most independent urban day schools (with an age
11 intake or starting point) set their own form of the 11+ (usually
in January) prior to the desired entry year. Most school entry exams
at age 11 involve Maths, English, verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
It is always recommended that the parents contact the school to
understand the format of the exam for that year, as they can change
from year to year. Click here

Common Entrance Exams
Common Entrance Exams for senior independent schools can be set
for admission at 11 or 13. These papers are set centrally by the
Independent School Exam Board but marking is done by the school.
At age 11, Common Entrance is usually limited to Maths, English
and Science. The 13+ paper covers the full range of subjects including
compulsory English, Maths, Science, History, Geography and RE. There
are four optional foreign language papers, and some schools require
Latin. Click here to find

SATS Exams
Standard Assessment Tasks (SATs) take place at the end of Key Stages
1, 2 and 3. For Key Stage 1 (year 2), they take place around Easter
time, and for the end of Key Stages 2 and 3 (years 6 and 9), they
are usually in May. They cover the three core subjects of English,
Maths and Science. SATS are important as an indicator of future
performance, and more controversially, are seen to be an indicator
of how well primary schools are performing relative to others in
the league tables. A child's KS1 results can give early signs of
educational problems. KS2 results are often used by secondary schools
for setting the new year 7 intake classes. KS3 results are for setting
year 10 (GCSE) classes. For questions about how well your child
is performing at each key stage, click here.

Intensive Holiday Courses
During the school holidays, Fleet Tutors offers GCSE and A-level tuition, school entry exam preparation 7/8/11/13+, as well as remedial courses involving 6, 10, 15 or more hours of tuition in your own home. These courses of private tuition are different than tutorial college or group revision programmes in that they are tailored to the pupil's individual requirements rather than the conflicting requirements of a larger group. Taking place in the pupil's home (or holiday destination), they also achieve more in far less time, leaving the pupil with more leisure time rather than less.
Our tutors start by identifying areas of weakness and provide a customised programme of tuition with targets for improvement. This is a highly efficient way of revising or catching up, with the pace being set by the pupil and tutor rather than the slowest pupil in a group. Taking place in the comfort of the student's home (or chosen location), it cuts down on unnecessary travel time. The packages are flexible and can be scheduled as one or two sessions per week (allowing breaks for holidays away if needed), or they can be concentrated during a single week or two if the student would benefit from a more intensive approach. As a general rule of thumb, 2-3 hours of one-to-one tuition is equivalent to a full day in a classroom, group setting.
