11+ Creative Writing Service

11+ Creative Writing Crash Course

The crash course is designed for the months before the 11+. It builds a repeatable method (plan fast, open strong, control the middle, land the ending) and then drills it under exam timing until it becomes automatic.

Course outline

  1. Session 01

    Planning under pressure

    A five-minute planning routine that works for any title, from a story opening to a persuasive letter.

  2. Session 02

    Openings that earn marks

    Hooks, in-media-res starts and the descriptive detail that makes an examiner keep reading.

  3. Session 03

    Character and dialogue

    Making characters distinct in a handful of lines, and using dialogue to move the story forward.

  4. Session 04

    Description and atmosphere

    Sensory writing and sophisticated vocabulary used with restraint rather than scattered.

  5. Session 05

    Endings and technical accuracy

    Satisfying resolutions, plus the punctuation and sentence variety that lift a script a whole band.

  6. Session 06

    Full mock and report

    A timed paper under exam conditions with a banded score and a written examiner report.
