The Year 5 11+ waiting list is now open for the 2026-2027 academic year. This is the main preparation year for many children sitting grammar, selective-school, and independent-school entrance exams, and places are expected to be in high demand.
Preparing for the Exam and Beyond
At Super Thinkers, our aim is not only to do well in the exam. We prepare every student to become a stronger, more confident, and more disciplined learner so they can go on to thrive in grammar, selective, and private-school environments.
The 11 Plus is an important milestone, but it is not the finish line. Students who move into academically demanding schools need excellent reading habits, precise written expression, strong maths foundations, resilient problem solving, and the confidence to handle challenging work. Our Year 5 pathway is designed to build those habits while preparing carefully for the entrance process.
A Track Record of Success
Super Thinkers students have gone on to become extremely successful learners. Many have thrived after moving into grammar, selective, and independent-school settings, carrying forward the academic habits and confidence built during their time with us.
Past students now include qualified lawyers and doctors in training. These outcomes reflect the long-term ambition we encourage: not just passing an entrance exam, but developing into high-level academics who can succeed in demanding environments.
What Year 5 Students Build
- Exam readiness: structured English, maths, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning preparation.
- Academic confidence: the ability to approach difficult questions calmly and methodically.
- Accuracy and discipline: careful working, checking, and learning from mistakes.
- Reading and vocabulary depth: stronger comprehension, inference, word knowledge, and written clarity.
- Problem-solving resilience: the confidence to keep thinking when questions are unfamiliar.
- Long-term academic standards: habits that support success beyond the exam and into secondary school.
Why Join the Waiting List Now?
Year 5 places are limited because effective 11 Plus preparation needs focused teaching, individual feedback, and careful monitoring. Joining the waiting list makes sure your child is considered when Super Thinkers reviews availability for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Families should register early if they want a structured route through the main preparation year, especially where a child needs support with timing, reasoning, vocabulary, written accuracy, or exam confidence.
