We’ve been helping local Bromley and Lewisham pupils get a place at their dream grammar or independent school for more than a decade.
If you’re a parent in Bromley or Lewisham, you know how competitive the 11 Plus exams can be. The creative writing component is one of the most challenging but critical parts of the process, especially for grammar and independent schools like St Olave’s Grammar School, Eltham College, Colfe’s School, and Dulwich College.
At Geek School Tutoring, we specialise in preparing children to stand out in these highly competitive exams. Whether your goal is a grammar school like Bexley Grammar or a top independent school such as James Allen’s Girls’ School (JAGS) or Trinity School, we’re here to help your child succeed.
Why Creative Writing Matters in the 11 Plus Exams
The creative writing section tests your child’s ability to:
- Think Creatively: Develop unique ideas that capture an examiner’s attention.
- Write with Precision: Use grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary effectively.
- Organise Ideas Clearly: Structure essays and stories in a way that flows logically.
For schools like Eltham College, City of London School, and Blackheath High School, the ability to write well can make the difference in securing a place.

5. Our 11 Plus Tutors Have Taken The 11+ Exam, Attended Grammar and Independent Schools
These days, many so-called 11 Plus Exam Tutors are jumping on the bandwagon because they have seen how these exams are growing in popularity. However, many of them are clueless about the high standards required to gain a place at these top schools, and they will use your child as a guinea pig while they try to decipher them.
Geek School Tutoring was started by a survivor of these very exams, Joycellyn Akuffo, who not only sat the 11 Plus Exams but attended an independent school. Her own children have done likewise with numerous offers at both grammar and independent schools. Our 11 Plus Tutors have also done the same and opt to work with Geek School Tutoring to give back. The benefit of this is a supportive network your child can confidently depend on in their preparation for one of the most competitive exams they will ever take.
