The Bradford problem
The Grammar School Your Child Wants Isn’t in Bradford
Most parents find this out the hard way. Bradford district has no selective state school. Bingley Grammar and Bradford Girls’ Grammar sound like they should be, but neither picks pupils by test. The grammar places Bradford children win are at Heckmondwike in Kirklees, at Crossley Heath and North Halifax in Calderdale, and at Ermysted’s in Skipton.
That means your child sits a test written for another town, competing with children who live round the corner from the school. At Heckmondwike, for example, local postcodes come first, so a Bradford child gets in on how well they do on the day. Their score is the whole application.
That is the job we take on: getting your child’s score high enough that distance stops mattering.
What the test rewards
One Kind of Paper, Four Schools
Here is the good news. Every one of those grammar schools now sets the same style of paper, from the FSCE test provider: English and maths, partly multiple choice and partly written, plus a piece of creative writing. Learn that format well and you are ready for all four. One tutor, one plan, no juggling three different courses.
And here is what most 11+ courses get wrong. The Halifax schools say outright that they do not test non-verbal reasoning. A generic 11+ class can spend months on shape puzzles your child will never see. We spend that time on what wins marks: fast, accurate maths, close reading, and writing that holds a marker’s attention. Sitting an independent school’s exam instead, like Bradford Grammar School’s? We prepare for that too.
How it works
From First Lesson to Test Day
Every child starts in a different place, so the plan is built around yours. This is the shape it usually takes.
- Free first lesson
Find out where your child really stands
The tutor works through maths and reading with your child and watches how they think, not just what they get right. You leave with a clear picture of the gaps, and no obligation to book anything else. - The first weeks
Fix what was missed lower down
The test only covers what school has taught by the end of Year 5, so a wobbly fraction or a shaky times table costs more marks than any trick question. We rebuild those foundations first, because everything else sits on them. - The middle months
Learn the paper inside out
Questions in the real format, multiple choice and written side by side, until nothing on the day looks unfamiliar. A creative writing piece most weeks, marked in the lesson, so your child knows what a strong one sounds like. - The run-in
Full papers against the clock
Timed practice builds the pace the test demands. At the Halifax schools the writing paper only counts if the first two papers are strong enough, so we make sure both halves are ready. - Test week
Calm, confident, ready
Many Bradford children sit two of these tests close together. The last lessons are short and steady, so your child walks in rested and sure of what is coming.

Is this for you
Who an 11+ Tutor in Bradford Suits
This is for you if
You’re weighing Heckmondwike, Crossley Heath, North Halifax or Ermysted’s
They all set the same style of paper, so one plan prepares your child for every school on your list.
You’re aiming at Bradford Grammar School
Its entrance exam is the school’s own. We prepare your child for that paper specifically.
Your child is good at maths but writing holds them back
Creative writing is where strong mathematicians lose places. It improves with weekly practice and honest marking.
You want someone who knows your child, not a class
The same tutor every week, one to one, focused only on your child.
Probably not, if
You want months of non-verbal reasoning for the Halifax schools
They say they don’t test it, so we won’t sell it to you.
You want a promise of a place
Nobody honest can promise that. We can promise your child walks in prepared.
You want a classroom to drive to
We teach online only, on Google Meet. No travel, no waiting room.
Not sure yet? Book the free demo class, tell us the schools, and decide after you’ve seen a lesson.

Your options
A Local 11+ Class, or a Tutor of Your Own
Plenty of Bradford families try a local class first. Here’s what to ask them, side by side with what you get from us.
| Compared on | A local 11+ class or centre | Online with Tutormint |
|---|---|---|
| What is taught | Ask whether it’s built on the paper your child will sit, or a general 11+ course with non-verbal reasoning the Halifax schools don’t test. | English, maths and creative writing in the format your child’s schools use. |
| Getting there | A drive or bus every week, after school, in all weathers. | From home, on Google Meet. Nothing to install. |
| Attention | Ask how big the group is and whether the teacher stays the same. | One tutor, one child, the same tutor every week. |
| Cost | Ask the price per child and how much a term ties you in for. | From £15 a one-hour lesson. No contract, and free rescheduling with 24 hours’ notice. |

Common Questions
11+ Tutoring in Bradford: Common Questions
Not state grammar schools. Bradford children who want a grammar place sit for Heckmondwike Grammar in Kirklees, Crossley Heath or North Halifax Grammar in Calderdale, or Ermysted’s in Skipton. Bradford Grammar School is independent and sets its own exam. We prepare children for all of them.
The state grammar schools Bradford families choose all use papers from the same provider, FSCE: English and maths, with a creative writing task. That’s good news, because one well-planned course of lessons prepares your child for every one of them.
No. Crossley Heath and North Halifax say they do not test non-verbal reasoning. Your child’s lessons go on maths, English and creative writing instead, which is where the marks are.
We usually suggest Year 4 or early Year 5, which leaves time to fix gaps before moving on to test practice. Later starts can still work. The free first lesson tells you how much ground there is to cover.
11+ lessons are one hour, one to one and online, from £15 a lesson. The first demo class is free, needs no card details, and there’s no contract.
