Give your child the boost they need to achieve their very best in the 11+ .

At Littlegarth School, we understand the challenges and opportunities that come with preparing for 11+ exams. That’s why we’ve created Learn with Littlegarth – a dedicated tutoring programme designed for children in Years 4 and 5 who are aiming for grammar school entry with weekly lessons that continue right up until the exam in Year 6. 

Our tutoring sessions provide the stretch and challenge that children need to help them grow in confidence and ability ahead of the exams. 

We offer tailored Year 4 or Year 5 small group sessions of up to four children per tutor; individual sessions are also available. 

Register your interest now!  Session booking will shortly be available to parents who have registered their interest. There is a limit to available spaces and booking will be offered in registration order. 

New for 2026 - A Free Tutoring Place

As part of this exciting new initiative, Littlegarth is proud to offer one free tutoring place for a Year 5 pupil from September until December 2026.
