Prepare your child for success!
 Verbal Reasoning is not covered in the Primary School, and the level of maths at 11+ goes beyond what most pupils will encounter in Year Six. Boys in particular find English challenging and need additional practice in handwriting, punctuation, basic grammar, spelling and essay structure. It is a sensible move, therefore, to employ the services of a personal tutor. At the moment I am able to take on new pupils from the end of September, when my current pupils take their 11+ examination. | Plymouth Grammar Schools:Plymouth Grammar Schools: A practice exam will be staged for boys and girls on July 7. Registration will be available between 16 April and 7 September 2012. Changes have been made to the admission exams at Devonport High School for Boys (DHSB). There will be tests using GL Assessment English and Mathematics papers (multiple choice). There will be no verbal reasoning paper. Pupils will also take an internally set DHSB paper which will test composition skills.
