Get Ahead This Summer with Mathnasium’s 11+ Summer Boost Programme

As exam season approaches, preparation becomes increasingly important for families with children sitting the 11+ entrance exams. These exams can be a high-pressure experience for students and parents alike, demanding strong skills in reasoning, problem-solving, maths and more. To help children navigate this challenge, Mathnasium has introduced its 11+ Summer Boost Programme, a focused initiative designed to accelerate learning during the summer break and provide comprehensive support.

Research has shown that the long summer break often leads to "summer learning loss," where students lose academic skills they gained during the school year. This effect is particularly significant in maths, with studies revealing that children may regress by several months in their mathematical understanding. Addressing this gap is crucial, as it can directly affect a child’s readiness for high-stakes exams like the 11+. Recognising this challenge, Mathnasium’s 11+ Summer Boost Programme has been designed to prevent summer learning loss while building essential academic and reasoning skills for life.

Having studied the challenges parents and students face with the 11+ market, Mathnasium identified a need for tailored and personalised programmes to fully support each child’s pedagogical development. The result is a programme that not only prepares children for the exams but also enhances their mathematical knowledge, critical thinking and reasoning skills, key abilities they’ll rely on throughout their academic journey.

The 8 week Summer Boost Programme provides a carefully structured environment where students can build on their strengths and address areas of weakness without the distractions of regular schoolwork. Practice exams simulate real test conditions, giving children the tools to approach the 11+ with clarity and assurance. Targeted instruction focuses on essential skills, tailoring support to each student’s specific needs, while also addressing gaps in knowledge to improve understanding and confidence.

Parents often face a myriad of challenges during the preparation process, from limited time before exams to uncertainty over how best to support their child. The pressures this can place on students and families alike are immense. Mathnasium understands these concerns and has created a programme that alleviates these difficulties. Through a structured and personalised approach, Mathnasium equips children to handle the 11+ with confidence, knowing they’ve developed a solid foundation in both their academic abilities and exam readiness.

By combatting summer learning loss and learning crucial skills, Mathnasium’s 11+ Summer Boost Programme supports children through this pivotal stage, helping them approach the 11+ exam with certainty and confidence.
