  2. Year 5: Deepen maths and English, start verbal and non-verbal reasoning in earnest, and add light timing.
  3. Year 6 (autumn): Timed, exam-style practice papers in the months before Westminster School's 11+ assessments.
  4. Year 5: Strengthen core maths and English and introduce reasoning question types used in the ISEB Common Pre-Test.
  5. Year 6: Timed ISEB-style practice across English, maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning ahead of the Pre-Test.
