Scores are age-standardised — adjusted for the child's age on test day — then the two reasoning papers combine into a single score out of about 282. A minimum standard of 210 applies, but heavy demand pushes the real offer-day cut-off well above it, and it shifts each year.

Why Newstead is different

The hardest part? It's nothing like school.

Newstead Wood is one of the country's most sought-after girls' grammars — and its entrance exam catches many well-prepared families off guard. Here's what your daughter is really up against.

🎯

It's all reasoning

Newstead sets just two papers — Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning — on the same day. There's no English or Maths exam, so being top of the class isn't enough on its own.

📈

The bar is very high

Around nine girls apply for every place, and the pass mark sits well above the national standard. A few careless slips can be the difference between an offer and a near-miss.

⏱️

It's off-curriculum & timed

These question types aren't taught in class, and they're sat under real time pressure. Familiarity with every format — and speed — is what separates offers from the rest.

Verbal Reasoning · Paper 1

Word logic that finally clicks.

Analogies, letter and number codes, hidden words, closest-in-meaning and odd-one-out — we teach every Verbal Reasoning type from scratch, then adapt the practice until it's automatic. No gaps, no guesswork.

Non-Verbal Reasoning · Paper 2

Spot the pattern, every time.

Sequences, matrices, rotation, reflection and symmetry. Interactive shapes make abstract Non-Verbal patterns obvious — so by exam day, nothing on Paper 2 looks unfamiliar or throws her off.

Try it yourself

Which shape doesn't belong?

A real odd-one-out, just like Paper 2. Tap your answer.

Meet Ada · her AI study buddy

A patient tutor, on call any time.

Ada explains every wrong answer in language a nine-year-old actually gets, nudges with hints instead of handing over the answer, and keeps her going when motivation dips. Every conversation is visible to you — Ada never asks for personal details, and safety comes first.

Mocks & readiness

No more guessing if she's ready.

Timed, exam-style mocks build stamina and calm nerves, while a live readiness score shows exactly how she's tracking against Newstead's high bar — long before exam day, when there's still time to act on it.

How it works

Learn → Practise → Level up

A structured 2.5-year path that adapts in real time, so ten focused minutes a day always land in the sweet spot — never too easy, never overwhelming.

1 · Learn the skill

A short, clear lesson with a worked example for every reasoning type.

2 · Practise adaptively

Questions step up or down with her, so she's always working at the right level.

3 · Level up & track

Points, badges and a live readiness score show progress to you both.

Practice she'll actually look forward to.

The secret weapon is motivation. She earns points for every session and collects four study buddies — plus dances and accessories — so she keeps coming back without being nagged.

Parents, breathing a little easier.

She actually asks to do her ten minutes now — that alone was worth it.
