“We have just completed our first year of working with Skyward Kids. It is a comprehensive platform with lots of useful exercises and content, and it is very clearly structured. The scheme was very successful, and we have had positive feedback from pupils and parents.”
“We were really impressed with the Skyward Kids course. It was in manageable chunks and the lesson notes were really helpful. It was easy to navigate back to sections that needed extra practice. Kathryn was really helpful and supportive when we had questions. I would definitely recommend!”

How it works
Students have weekly lesson notes to learn new topics and skills for GL Assessment 11 Plus exams, such as Non-Verbal Reasoning and GL Verbal Reasoning.
In addition, there are KS2 maths and English (including year 6 topics) to ensure comprehensive preparation for the 11 Plus exam.
There are instantly marked tests following the weekly lesson notes. Students should complete all tests and aim to eventually achieve over 80%.
All tests have 2 attempts available and most tests include hints and explanations.
As our 11 Plus tests are instantly marked, parents can easily see the final percentage achieved and identify weaknesses.
At the end of each test the categories are listed (eg: NVR- Rotation, NVR-Reflection or Maths- Fractions, English- Spellings) with the corresponding percentage achieved.
Our Year 5 course includes 2 GL Assessment style mock exams.
Sitting practice exams is crucial for student success, which is why we offer them in our program.
