Stroud High School Courses and Mock Exams
With high entry standards to Stroud High School, your child will need plenty of preparation in order to get in. Parents can choose to use tutors/tuition centres or books/structured courses. The benefits of a structured course are that it is tailored to the area you are applying for and parents can focus on helping their child rather than worrying about which books to buy when and what order to do the work in.
Our courses are used by parents and by private tutors who choose to use them instead of books to help their children.
We also supply a series of mock exams to complete at home. These are invaluable either instead of expensive hall based mocks or done before a hall based mock to ensure you get best value from it.

Of course, you will need to ensure that the correct skills have been learnt before tackling an 11 Plus Mock Exam and we have a range of courses to help you achieve that listed below.
Which 11 Plus course to choose?
If your child is in Year 3 or Year 4 then please use our primary schools course chooser (link below) as a guide to starting on the right course. These courses focus on core literacy and numeracy skills. They help your child reach their potential before moving onto 11 Plus preparation at the right time.
Primary School- Course Chooser for younger children
If your child is really bright and in the latter half of Year 4 or in Year 5 then please choose from the courses below which have been tailored for the 11 Plus and this school/area.
Complete Courses – Complete preparation for the 11 Plus Exam
The course below is our flagship course and includes everything needed. This course is 40 parts in length with its own dedicated page including full details and free course preview.
The Complete GL 11 Plus Programme
If you just wanted to focus on the literacy or numeracy elements then we have cut those out of the main course to create the two courses below.
The GL 11 Plus Programme- Vocabulary, English, and Verbal Reasoning
The GL 11 Plus Programme- Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning
If you just wanted to focus on vocabulary then we have cut that out of the main course to be a course on its own.
The Complete Vocabulary Course
Enhance Courses- For those with a little less time
If you have less time available we have cut our main course down to half the length (roughly 65% of the materials in the complete course are included in our Enhance course). Full details and free preview are available by following the link:
If you just wanted to focus on either the literacy or numeracy aspects then we have cut those from the full Enhance course to create two alternative options.
11 Plus Enhance- Vocabulary, English, and Verbal Reasoning
11 Plus Enhance- Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning
If you just wanted to focus on vocabulary then we have cut this from the Enhance courses as well to create a further option.
Boost Courses- For those preparing without much time to go until the exam
If you are preparing later then we have produced these short courses which are half the length of Enhance courses but contain about 40% of our longest course. Link to the full Boost course below where you will find full details and an in-depth free preview:
If you just wanted to focus on literacy or numeracy then we have cut-down versions of our Boost course below.
GL 11 Plus Boost- Vocabulary, English, and Verbal Reasoning
GL 11 Plus Boost- Maths and Non-Verbal Reasoning
If you just wanted to focus on vocabulary then we have also created a boost vocabulary course below.
Revision
We have created a revision course which is suitable for this school. This tends to be used by families who have not found us until very late and have perhaps prepared with books or with some tutoring but now want to have something more structured.
Please do not do this course if you have done any of the courses above as there is some crossover of material.
Preparation for Independent School 11 Plus Exams
Often we will find parents are asking their children to sit an 11 Plus exam for a grammar school in September and then are going on to sit an Independent School 11 Plus exam the following January.
Where this is case we have prepared two courses to help with the additional preparation that will be required:
11 Plus Creative Writing Course
