I've been using Exam Ninja books for around five years to help my nine-year-old daughter with her schooling. We buy a set for each year and my daughter works her way through them, a little each day, with my assistance. These are an excellent resource for boosting a child's learning journey and supporting the school curriculum.

About the GL 11+ English Practice Papers (Ages 9-10)

If your child is preparing for the GL 11+ English exam, the GL 11+ English Practice Papers (Ages 9-10) from CGP deliver exactly what hardworking Year 5 pupils need: realistic practice, clear explanations, and the reassurance that comes from working through papers designed to mirror the real test. With four complete sets of practice papers tailored specifically to the GL Assessment format, your child will build familiarity with the style, timing, and question types they'll face on exam day, covering comprehension, cloze, vocabulary, and writing tasks.

Each set comes with a detailed answer book that explains every answer, so your child understands not just what went wrong, but why—turning mistakes into learning opportunities. The included Parents' Guide walks you through the structure of the 11+ and offers practical tips on how to use the papers effectively at home. What sets this pack apart is the free downloadable test audio available from the CGP website: hit play at the start of each paper and it guides your child through the instructions and timings, replicating the real exam experience and helping them manage the clock with confidence.

Regular practice with these papers helps pupils arrive on test day feeling prepared, not panicked. They'll recognise the layout, know how to pace themselves, and approach each section with the kind of calm focus that comes from thorough preparation. The comprehensive coverage of GL English topics—from reading comprehension and cloze exercises to vocabulary and short writing tasks—ensures your child has practised every skill the exam will test. Because this is a physical pack, you'll have everything to hand whenever your child is ready to practise, with no need to print or download additional materials beyond the optional audio.

This resource is also ideal for children preparing for other 11+ test providers, including FSCE, CSSE, the Sutton Selective Eligibility Test (SET), as well as 11+ exams authored by individual grammar schools themselves.
