11 Plus English

About 11 Plus English

11 Plus English builds the vocabulary, grammar, punctuation and comprehension skills children need for UK entrance tests, including grammar and independent schools. All quizzes are written by teachers, and designed for quick, repeatable practice.

Use short sessions to spot gaps fast, then revisit the same topic a few days later so learning sticks. This little-and-often approach supports KS2 reading and writing progress, and can also help with KS2 SATs preparation by strengthening accuracy and confidence.

The quizzes cover common exam-style tasks, including synonyms and antonyms, parts of speech, sentence punctuation, spelling patterns, word order, and reading comprehension. Instant feedback helps parents and learners see what to practise next.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 11 Plus English paper usually include?

Many tests include vocabulary, spelling, grammar and punctuation, plus reading comprehension. Some schools also add a short writing task to assess planning, structure and style.

How should my child revise with these quizzes?

Two or three short quizzes a week works well. Aim for accuracy first, read feedback carefully, then repeat the same quiz after a few days to strengthen recall and improve speed.

Are these quizzes only for Year 6?

They are most useful in Years 5-6, but confident Year 4 pupils can start gently too. Choose easier topics first, then build up to trickier question types as confidence grows.

Do the quizzes match different 11 Plus providers?

Yes. They focus on the most common English skills tested across UK entrance exams. Results help you target weaker areas and build familiarity with typical instructions and timings.
