At Sydenham our 11+ Course is tailored to the entrance exams for schools in South East London. Whilst teaching small groups in a stimulating setting we equip children with the knowledge and experience to achieve their potential.

Succeed in Secondary - Thursdays 7pm - 8pm
Our highly popular Succeed in Secondary course is for children in year 6, 7, 8 and 9. The aim of the course is to support children through the sometimes tricky transition between Key Stage 2 and 3. We look at current affairs topics whilst focusing on developing debating, presentation and research skills.

Working alongside our tutors, our members develop their skills in an environment that gets them really excited about their work.
