11 Plus 2026 preparing for this year’s examinations
If your child is sitting their 11 Plus in autumn 2026 the Kent Test in September, the Sutton Consortium in October, or any grammar or independent school assessment there is still time to prepare properly. But that time is limited. The families who act now are the ones who arrive at those exams with genuinely prepared children.
Children sitting 11 Plus examinations in autumn 2026 are currently in Year 5, entering Year 6 in September 2026. With the Kent Test typically falling in September of Year 6 and the Sutton Consortium, Bexley and other grammar school tests following in October and November the exam window is just months away for these children. Every week of quality preparation between now and September matters.
If your child has been preparing consistently, now is the time to intensify increasing past paper work, refining exam technique and sitting mock assessments under real conditions. If preparation has not yet started or has been inconsistent, there is still time to make a significant difference. Our expert tutors have prepared children for these exact examinations for over 10 years, and we know how to make the remaining weeks count.
