July Syllabus Extension Programme

English Comprehension Booster

Also covering Maths – VR – NVR

This July, we are introducing a brand-new English Booster Course (also partially covering others subjects)

  • The course will aim to revisit and revise the various types of English multiple-choice and written style questions that appear in the exam, then hone the skills required to answer them.
  • Decoding the various sorts of questions, the 11+ comprehension papers tend to ask, and how to go about deducing the answer. 
  • Our English Booster will be challenging. Sophisticated vocabulary and ideas will be used and discussed. Though challenging, it is to give our children the best chance to succeed.
  • Retrieval, inference, word definition and language techniques will be discussed and practised. 
  • Comprehension questioning styles vary – acclimatise children through different styles of question papers.
  • 200 Vocabulary Questions.

While the focus is clearly English, we will additionally have VR, Maths and NVR built into the schedule.  This will ensure children have sufficient practise on other subjects as well.

We are looking forward to this English Extended Programme and anticipate that children will get the best from our teaching.
