11+ Prep
At Laleham Lea, we don’t just prepare students for exams; we prepare them for the future. Our comprehensive secondary transfer programme builds momentum from Year 3, blending academic rigour with confidence-building performance arts. Early intervention, regular assessment and target setting provides personalised, accelerated learning for all students.
Our 11+ tutor Mrs Shama teaches differentiated 11+ Maths, English and Critical Thinking, preparing our students for the rigours of Grammar and ISEB entrance tests from Year 3.
In addition to this we offer additional (free) Booster Classes in both in English and Maths for all students in preparation for the 11+ Grammar School S.E.T and Independent School examinations (including the ISEB test), Accelerated Mathematics in Year 5, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning Club for Year 4 & Year 5 students and access to online 11+ preparation learning programmes from Year 3 (Atom Learning).
The standards of excellence achieved at Laleham Lea mean that many of our students secure places at the local Grammar Schools or obtain scholarships for leading Independent Schools in the area.
