The 11+ and 13+ entrance exams are highly competitive, particularly in London and the South East, where places at top independent and grammar schools are limited and in high demand. While many families begin focused tuition in Year 6 or Year 8, more parents are recognising the value of starting earlier – in Year 4 or 5 – to build skills gradually, reduce pressure and set their child up for long-term success.
At Enjoy Education, we work with families to take the stress out of exam preparation by planning ahead with purpose and approach the process in a way that feels supportive, structured and age-appropriate.
