How marks are lost

Four marks. Watch all four disappear.

Right idea, wrong marks. Each line below shows a common habit that costs a student credit — and exactly why the examiner cannot award it.

AQA insists on the unit. Write the equation first and half the question is banked before the arithmetic.

M1 pays for the approach, whatever number comes out.

A Clear Plan at Every Stage

From strong early foundations to focused exam preparation, our teaching develops with your child at every stage.

11 Plus · Year 6

Final preparation and refinement

In the weeks before entrance exams we identify remaining gaps and close them with targeted revision, repeated mock papers under timed conditions and final work on exam technique and confidence. Year 6 tuition also supports a smooth transition into secondary school.

Exam practice · every stage

Papers, papers, papers — then technique on top

every paper turned into a lesson

Past papers are most valuable when every mistake becomes a lesson. We teach the content and the method first, then use exam-style questions throughout our teaching to identify gaps, refine technique and build speed and accuracy. As students progress, practice moves increasingly into timed conditions so that good methods become automatic when it matters.

FAQ

Common Questions From Parents

No. Strong subject knowledge comes first. We make sure students understand the underlying content and methods, then teach them how to apply that knowledge accurately in exam questions. Exam technique complements understanding; it does not replace it.
