Give Your Child the Best Chance at Grammar School
The 11+ is one of the most competitive exams your child will face. With thousands of students sitting the same test for a limited number of places, preparation is not optional — it is essential. At Think Smart Academy in Slough, we have spent over a decade helping children not just pass the 11+ but score highly enough to secure their first-choice grammar school.
Our approach goes beyond drilling past papers. We teach students to understand the underlying principles behind each question type, develop efficient time-management strategies, and build the resilience needed to perform under exam conditions. Every child who walks through our doors receives a free diagnostic assessment so we can identify their strengths and target their weaknesses from day one.
Whether your child is a strong student aiming for a top score or needs focused support to bridge gaps, our structured programme adapts to meet them where they are. We have helped students from over 40 primary schools across Slough, Langley, Colnbrook, Iver, and the surrounding areas achieve grammar school places.
