"Despite having discovered Milestone late in our 11+ preparations, they truly made all the difference to my daughter's confidence and knowledge in sitting the test. The tremendous teacher efforts, teaching style, tips and techniques were perfect to enhance the skills and confidence needed. We could not have done it without you. Thank you to the entire team at Milestones!" [Recent Parent]
Year-5 programme
Our year-5 programme runs in four
12-week phases or ‘blocks’, September
to September:
Phase-1 Sept -> Nov
Phase-2 Dec -> Mar
Phase-3 Mar -> May
Phase-4 May -> Sept
Phase-1 ensures that core Maths & English skills are fully embedded, so your child has the basic ‘toolkit’ they need.
The programme then moves on to cover the more specialised 11+ themes in all the key GL subjects:
-
English Comprehension & Grammar skills
-
Verbal Reasoning
-
Maths Reasoning
-
Non-Verbal Reasoning
Year-5 students can enter the programme at different stages through the year but may have to do some catch-up work to come up to speed in key areas.
Year-4
programme
We support year-4 students in all aspects of Key Stage-2 Maths and English to ensure they come into their 11+ year with the core verbal and numeracy skills they'll need.
Our personal but purposeful teaching style and small tutorial groups mean we can respond to each child as an individual, spotting the particular areas where they are 'blocked' and in need of extra help.
As well as following the national curriculum we use creative writing tasks to build confidence with language and build vocabulary.
Year-3
Starting down the path
At 7-8, children need to be taking their first proper steps towards comfort with numbers and language.
We follow the national curriculum closely, paying particular attention in Maths to times-tables understanding of place values and simple calculation skills. In English we foster reading and writing skills and an understanding of basic grammatical rules.
Milestone is small enough and personal enough to engage with a year-3 child's particular enthusiams and interests whilst gently guiding them along their academic path.
11+ Boosters
Intensive practice during the run-up to the exam
Every summer and autumn, Milestone runs Sunday Booster sessions that pull everything together, giving year-5 students the experience of working under time pressure to maximise their marks:
-
Timed ‘mini-papers’ covering all 11+ strands
-
Follow-through teaching to fill remaining gaps
-
Sociable and fun
-
Immediate feedback to guide home revision
-
Open to Milestone and non-Milestone students
