Welcome to SDE! We specialise in 11+ preparation, offering 11+ Tuition Courses, 11+ Mock Exams and published 11+ Books and Test Packs. We apply a technique-focused approach to preparing your child for the 11+.
With SDE, you can be confident that your child is receiving the most comprehensive 11+ tuition available. We teach students the most efficient and effective method for approaching each 11+ question using techniques that have been carefully developed by Susan Daughtrey MEd. Our full Year 5 11+ Course curriculum covers all subject areas meticulously including English, Mathematics, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, ensuring your child is thoroughly and effectively prepared.
We ensure that our highly qualified teachers are experienced subject area tutors by selecting only the very best who pass our rigorous selection process. Since 1987, we have crafted our own 11+ Course structure, lesson plans and materials that are of the highest possible standard. Our 11+ Mock Exams are regarded as market-leading and have an excellent reputation for being the closest in terms of content, timing, format, administration and level of difficulty compared to the real 11+ tests.
Furthermore, we utilise fully interactive Hybrid Classroom technology (remote attendance and interactive participation in classes through advanced audio-visual systems and classroom Smartboards) and, on all our term-time 11+ Courses, we offer weekly pre-recorded video tutorials that you can access from home covering all aspects of the lesson to ensure your child has the best chance of achieving excellence in the 11+ and beyond.
ABOUT US
Dedicated SDE 11+ Tuition Centre facilities
Susan Daughtrey Education has made significant investments in our own self-managed SDE 11+ Tuition Centres that are conveniently located in the centres of Amersham, Beaconsfield and Gerrards Cross.
These facilities have all been developed by SDE to create bespoke 11+ Tuition Centre environments that are dedicated to our 11+ pupils and include the following features and advantages:
- A safe, secure and attractive environment for your child to prepare for their 11+ exam.
- A single-purpose location that your child can associate with their important 11+ studies, rather than a shared venue that may have been visited by them previously for another, potentially non-academic, purpose (such as a leisure centre, community centre or their school).
- An educational establishment to which the SDE tutors and support staff can be proud to welcome pupils and parents, where we can foster a unique identity and culture and which ultimately helps us to attract, retain and motivate the best professional staff.
- Bespoke 11+ Tuition Centre facilities developed by SDE especially for our pupils including:
- small classrooms designed for groups of up to 12 students, a teacher and tuition centre assistant;
- toilet facilities close to the classrooms;
- climate control, which can be particularly important during the final 11+ preparation which often coincides with hot summer weather;
- In Beaconsfield and Amersham, the ability to amalgamate two classrooms together by opening a sound-proof retractable wall to create a realistic exam hall setting (typically accommodating up to 30 exam candidates) for the SDE 11+ Mock Exams.
- Premium locations (all within 200m of the Railway Station) allowing you to make use of other nearby Town Centre facilities while your child attends their 11+ tuition or mock exam.
- On-site or nearby public parking facilities.
- Environmental conscious buildings (all achieving EPC Ratings A-C), with our new facility in Amersham achieving the highest possible EPC "A" rating due to investments in an 8.1KW Solar PV rooftop array and a Ground Source Heat Pump.
