Course Introduction

This short, intensive focus group is designed specifically for boys preparing for St. Paul’s Boys’ 7+ assessment.

The group will cover all five sections of the entrance exam.

Course Schedule

On Sunday, we will cover comprehension, reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and maths.

On Monday, we will cover dictation, and we will then prepare and sit a St Paul’s ‘mini mock’. Tom will talk students through each section of the exam, telling them what to expect, how to think in the exam, and what to do if they get stuck or face a challenging section.

The mock exam will then be marked and graded within 24 hours. Focus topics will be identified, and shared with parents, along with overall grades and benchmark scores.

“Winterwood tutors are highly recommended. Their group sessions are perfect for boosting knowledge in the key areas, while kids enjoy the competitive environment. Their tutors are very keen and productive!”

Group Leads

Our Cancellation Policy

If you cancel less than two weeks ahead of the start date of the course, the fee is non-refundable and non-transferable to another date or another student.

If you cancel outside of the two week course date, we will happily credit your account to attend a future course.

If you do not show up for a course, you are not eligible for a credit or refund.

Why we charge a cancellation fee

This is to cover the tutors’ reserved time to run a group course, to pay for their time spent pre-planning the class and relevant material, printing fees incurred and the loss of revenue to Winterwood as it is often too late to fill a cancelled space. More importantly, other students miss out on attending a group.
