Designed to challenge high-potential pupils, this programme focuses on developing the logical thinking and pattern-recognition skills required for advanced reasoning tests. The course goes beyond simple practice, helping students understand the underlying logic behind verbal and non-verbal reasoning questions.

(2.5 hours per day, Monday to Friday, in the week of 30 March – 3 April)

We have brought the same systematic approach used in our successful maths programme to build a carefully structured NVR and VR course designed to give pupils a strong foundation and the confidence to tackle reasoning problems independently. Each day introduces different reasoning topics, with teachers guiding students through clear methods for approaching each question type step by step.

Students learn how to recognise common patterns in sequences, codes, analogies and spatial transformations. Lessons emphasise structured thinking, helping pupils break down unfamiliar problems into manageable steps so they can solve them more efficiently and accurately.

Across the week, pupils practise strategies for analysing information, identifying relationships and working through problems methodically. By understanding how reasoning questions are constructed, students learn how to avoid common traps while improving both their speed and accuracy.

By the end of the programme, students will have developed a strong toolkit of reasoning strategies and a clear framework for approaching new question types, helping them perform with greater confidence in selective school assessments and reasoning-based entrance exams.
