Build Confidence. Master the Skills. Prepare for 11+ Success.
The 11+ is a competitive entrance examination that assesses a child’s knowledge, reasoning, speed, accuracy and ability to work under pressure. Elephant Connect Education provides structured preparation designed to help students develop the skills they need and approach the examination with confidence.
Prepare With Purpose. Perform With Confidence.
Every child begins their 11+ journey from a different starting point. We first identify their current strengths and areas for development, then use this understanding to shape an appropriate programme around their learning needs and preparation goals.
Lessons combine subject knowledge, reasoning, problem-solving and exam technique, giving students the opportunity to develop their abilities through focused practice.

Number skills, arithmetic, problem-solving and mathematical reasoning.

A Personalised Approach to 11+ Preparation

When Should Your Child Start 11+ Preparation?
There is no single starting point that suits every child. Some students benefit from beginning early, allowing skills to develop gradually, while others may need a more focused programme closer to their entrance examination.
Starting earlier can provide additional time to strengthen core knowledge, develop reasoning abilities and become familiar with examination-style questions without having to rush the preparation process.
