This focus group is designed to specifically prepare students for stage one of the Westminster Under 7+ assessment.
Course Schedule
The group will focus on the specific format of this assessment, which differs from other 7+ assessments. It will teach students questions in the format of each of the three sections – English comprehension and grammar, maths problem solving and arithmetic, and non-verbal and verbal reasoning.
The course will conclude with a Westminster Under format assessment, for which full feedback will be provided.
“Oliver’s teaching style is patient, accommodating and encouraging, responding to a student’s unique learning style while also focusing on the specifics essential for their goals. He creates fun, dynamic resources which contextualise learning within topics that his students enjoy. He loves bringing his broader passions – from literature to football to Star Wars – into his teaching.”

Dr Tom Parkinson
Tom will teach day II – Tom is Winterwood’s co-founder and overseas the entrance exam cohort. Tom has been running educational groups for the past decade, and has created several bespoke learning games which he uses in his group classes. Tom has found that group courses really drive attainment – possible due to the nature of the groups, which are supportive and provide guidance and reassurance, and possible as gameplay is incorporated, which helps to mitigate stress and makes learning fun. Either way, it works!
