11+ ICT tutors
1 of 1 UK tutor teaching ICT at 11+.
ICT as a discrete qualification has largely been replaced by Computer Science at GCSE and A-level, but it still appears at KS3, in BTEC and Cambridge Nationals routes, and in adult and Functional Skills contexts. Content is more applied than CS — spreadsheets, databases, project work, digital literacy — and assessment leans on coursework and scenario tasks. Tutoring helps most with the structured project work and with the digital-literacy gap older students sometimes carry. For students mid-stream in legacy ICT specs, check the awarding body (Cambridge Nationals, BTEC, OCR) and the cohort year, as content has shifted repeatedly.
The 11+ is the entrance test for selective state grammar schools and many independent senior schools, sat in Year 6 (some independents sit it earlier). Tests vary by region: Kent, Bucks, Birmingham, Trafford, Lincolnshire, the Wirral and others differ on format and content, with GL Assessment, formerly CEM, ISEB Common Pre-Test, and bespoke school papers all in use. Most tests cover English, maths, verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning in some combination. The verbal/non-verbal reasoning is the unfamiliar part — schools don't teach it. Tutoring helps most with format-specific past-paper practice; match the tutor to the actual test the child will sit.
