Year 6 SATs and Entrance Exam Tuition

Year 6 SATs and Entrance Exam Tuition in Rugby and Stratford upon Avon

Year 6 is not the year to leave things to chance.

SATs, grammar school admissions and independent school entrance exams all demand accuracy under pressure. Even strong pupils can underperform if they are unfamiliar with exam structure, timing and mark schemes.

Our Year 6 tuition strengthens core English and maths while sharpening exam technique. We focus on performance as well as knowledge, so pupils walk into their exams calm, prepared and confident.

Focused Year 6 Exam Preparation

  • Structured SATs reading and maths support
  • Independent school entrance exam preparation
  • Explicit time management training
  • Small groups with a maximum of 6 pupils
  • Past style paper practice and feedback
  • Confidence building before secondary school

This is targeted preparation for a pivotal year.

SATs Preparation That Improves Performance

SATs are as much about technique as ability.

Many pupils lose marks because they misread a question, rush under time pressure or fail to show method clearly. We address this directly.

In English, we strengthen comprehension technique, inference skills, grammar accuracy and vocabulary. Pupils learn how to structure written responses clearly and maximise marks.

In maths, we develop arithmetic fluency and structured reasoning. Children practise multi step problems, learn how to present working accurately and manage their time across the paper.

We also teach pupils how marks are awarded. When children understand how examiners think, performance improves.

Independent School Entrance Exam Support

Entrance exams vary by school and often include:

  • English comprehension and creative writing
  • Maths problem solving
  • Verbal Reasoning
  • Non Verbal Reasoning
  • Interviews or additional assessments

We prepare pupils across all tested areas, teaching not just content but exam strategy. Where possible, preparation is tailored to specific school formats.

Pupils practise under timed conditions so they become familiar with pace and structure. Nothing should feel new on the day.

Confidence Before Secondary School

Year 6 should not feel overwhelming.

With small group tuition and structured progression, pupils see measurable improvement. They learn how to handle pressure, how to recover from mistakes and how to maintain focus across longer papers.

Families typically see:

  • Stronger performance in core English and maths
  • Improved exam timing and answer accuracy
  • Reduced nerves before assessment
  • A smoother transition into secondary expectations

Our goal is simple. Your child enters secondary school feeling capable, not relieved it is over.
