FSL 2025-2026 11+ Course

To join the course, students first undertake an assessment process:

Year 4 Comprehensive Assessment

  • An at-home paper (sent via email) is to be completed and returned to Kate for marking and initial feedback. This paper is designed to assess what has (and hasn’t) been covered at school to date.

  • A group session in the spring of Year 4, where students do a timed piece of work under Kate’s observation. A feedback report from this session is also provided, before parents decide to if they wish to commit to a course space.

    Please note - there is absolutely no obligation to continue with the course after the assessment process is complete.

    Fee: £195 (payable upon Assessment Registration).

    This fee holds your child’s space on the course until all feedback from the Assessment has been received in May 2025.

    If parents choose to continue with the full course, this fee is deducted from the course price.

The FSL Course Includes:

FSL Course Part 1 - Teaching Phase

  • Optional work (books + emailed worksheets) in the summer of Year 4 through to Christmas of Year 5, to get the ball rolling

  • Small group lessons during term time (6 -10 students per group) from January - July of Year 5 (if the students start lessons any sooner than this, they are likely to get sick of the work and 'burn out’. From my experience, it’s best to begin after they’ve had a rest over the Christmas holidays, and are fresh and ready to start in the New Year)

  • Individual feedback report, detailing your child’s progress, emailed weekly (see a mid-course example here)

  • Optional homework in the Easter and half term breaks

  • 1 x Mid-Term mock + feedback report in April of Year 5, to reassess the children and get them used to longer papers

  • Access to Kate’s bank of explainer videos, detailing methods for tricky 11+ question types

  • Access to the FSL Foundation (Year 4/5) and Higher Level (Year 5/6) Vocabulary courses on the Memrise website (from May of Year 4)

  • ALL exclusive materials and papers, with no hidden extras!

FSL Course Part 2 - Revision and Testing Phase

  • 3x Mock Exam Sessions + Feedback Score Reports (scheduled throughout the summer holidays, one every fortnight). These are held Ashley Green Memorial Hall, for authentic test experience, using exclusive materials (written by Kate)

  • The FSL Summer Pack - six weeks’ worth of exclusive, timetabled work scheduled for the end of the summer term, the summer holiday, and the week prior to 11+ exam

  • 3 x Drop-In Sessions with Kate (scheduled around the Mock Exam sessions, to help with exam preparation and test corrections)

  • 1 x Review Session with Kate (scheduled in the week before the exam, aimed at revisiting exam technique, dicussing how best to deal with nerves, and revising tricky topics)

When and where are the lessons?

  • The group sessions are held in Berkhamsted.

  • Students attend one session a week (either 4.00 - 5.15 or 5.30 - 6.45) on either a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
