The 11 Plus English syllabus covers key concepts from KS2 ( year 5 & year 6) such as spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, grammar, vocabulary, & comprehension. Broadly the 11 plus English papers covers most of the topics of KS2 English syllabus. The syllabus is broadly based on the National Curriculum guidelines. In our experience, as students learn English as a part of the school curriculum, most children are familiar with majority of the topics covered in 11 plus English papers. Having said that, some children require more support than others in preparing 11 Plus English, especially in areas like vocabulary , comprehension and creative writing skills.
When preparing for 11 plus English topics, the child needs a solid foundation in the following 5 core areas:
11+ English papers vary in style, based on the exam body that prepares the test paper, as each exam body’s test paper format differs from the others. In general, the exam format and question types will vary depending on the local authority in which the grammar school is situated or they will vary based on a specific grammar school. It should be noted that some schools prefer to prepare their own 11 plus English test papers and so their exam format can be different from the typical exam board papers. Some schools simply change the style and format of the paper every year, in order to keep the test fresh and challenging.
