Our Verbal Reasoning GL Focus Sessions are part of our spiral curriculum, where skills are revisited and built upon over time to ensure strong understanding and retention. Designed for the GL 11+ exam used by the West Midlands Consortium, they reflect the structure and challenge of the real test. Over the three-week programme, pupils rotate through key question types including: coding, number problems, sequences, vocabulary, and analogies, each time increasing in difficulty. This spiral approach strengthens accuracy, speed, and problem-solving under timed conditions.

We raise the level of challenge beyond regular classwork, ensuring pupils are fully stretched. Those who attend and practise at home become more confident because they gain familiarity with a wide range of question styles, improve their techniques, and learn to manage time effectively. By revisiting concepts in increasingly complex ways, our spiral curriculum helps children build a secure foundation while developing the confidence and resilience needed for the most demanding verbal reasoning questions.
