11+ Prep, Reimagined
A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Children thrive in education when they love learning. It’s why, like many parents, I sought the best school for my child.
But when it came to 11+ prep, exam practice felt at odds with everything I stood for. I watched on as each new mock paper began to chip away at that natural enthusiasm and curiosity.
It became a chore.
Then, a revelation (and some science to back it up): Our brains favour stories over passive facts. This revelation led to the creation of Smarty Panthers and our story-based workbooks.
At Smarty Panthers, we passionately believe that 11+ prep should be an adventure, not a chore. If you agree, explore our workbooks and embark on an unforgettable educational journey today.
