The Education Lounge Podcast

Is the 11 Plus still worth it for 2026 entry? This episode gives parents in Redbridge, East London and Essex a clear view of what has changed since 2023, how GL Assessment now shapes most regions, what CSSE looks for in Essex with written English and problem-solving maths, and why vocabulary, general knowledge, and reading stamina still decide scores. We show what strong Year 6 foundations look like, how to balance preparation without burnout, and a simple way to judge if grammar schools are the right fit for your child.If you are considering 11 Plus tuition for Year 4 or Year 5, Redbridge Tuition can help with small group classes (max 8), targeted vocabulary and comprehension, GL-style practice, CSSE-style writing and full mock exams.Centres in Loughton and Seven KingsBook your free assessment: https://www.redbridgetuition.co.uk/11plus-course00:00 Is the 11 Plus still relevant in 2026?00:52 Our background teaching 11 Plus04:56 GL in 2026: what changed06:08 CSSE (Essex) written papers07:57 Independent and other formats09:27 CEM becomes Cambridge Select10:50 Where Atom fits in admissions13:18 Reasoning types: codes, series, 3D17:13 What to prepare for in 2026 (GL vs CSSE)18:01 Foundations that matter by Year 620:04 The vocabulary and general knowledge gap26:09 How many grammar schools and where27:27 Trends in expectations and child choice35:46 Is 11 Plus prep valuable even without a place?48:24 Trade-offs and costs to consider56:05 How to decide if the 11 Plus is right for your child58:16 Wrap up

Welcome back to The Education Lounge and our first episode of the season.We unpack how work is changing and what to learn right now, focusing on human-to-human roles, creative projects, and the habits that keep you useful in a fast-moving world.From the trolley problem to real hiring stories, we explore what will not change, why some digital roles feel fragile, where regulated and hands-on careers still have resilience, how personal brands and small businesses are rising, and a simple way to think about careers and investing by building or backing the layer above the tools.

In the third instalment of the education lounge, two Redbridge Tuition parents sit down with us to talk about their (and their childs'!) 7 plus tuition experience; from extracurricular activities and shocked school teachers to the preparation and exam itself.

Today we're looking back at our time at Forest School alongside one of our old school friends. We talk through all the good and the bad in terms of our classes, teachers, subjects, campus and more. Enjoy!

We try and answer the question ‘What should I be when I grow up’. We also discuss our take on the world as it stands as well as the future world.

GCSE mocks are done, and now the only question is what you do next. In this episode, we break down what mock results really measure, the three biggest mark leaks that quietly cost grades, and how to turn feedback into a simple plan without panic or burnout. We also cover what supportive parents do differently after results land, and the one habit that separates “I revised loads” from real progress.⸻🎶 : https://soundcloud.com/flipswitch/recovery💻 Website: https://www.redbridgetuition.co.uk/👨 📖 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rtgtuition📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redbridgetuition🔊 Podcast: https://education-lounge.co.uk/⚙️ Equipment:Sound 🔊Behringer XM8500Microphone - https://amzn.to/3IcIPFqMic Stand - https://amzn.to/3BK7j6nXLR Cables - https://amzn.to/33GSgOrAudio Interface (Behringer UMC404HD) - https://amzn.to/3h4f8uaUSB B to USB C Cable - https://amzn.to/35ePfVRVideo 🎥 Camera - iPhone 16 Pro: https://amzn.to/3W2ohWyCable for iPhone Audio: https://amzn.to/3un6jRE​​Adapter for iPhone: https://amzn.to/2NU9saY​​Lighting: https://amzn.to/3MuyUNvApple iPad Pro 11": https://amzn.to/3lo7cWYApple Pencil 2: https://amzn.to/3Nq9n87Samsung T7 SSD: https://amzn.to/3qNOU290:00 Trailer0:47 Mocks season and why people panic3:50 Why mocks hit hard (identity vs feedback)9:13 What mocks actually measure (knowledge, technique, state)11:36 Revision that works (active recall, sleep, avoid cramming)16:12 Biggest mark leaks (where marks are lost)21:21 Build a “mistake map” (the one action to take)24:44 What parents should do (and what to avoid)34:41 What students should do next (simple action plan)39:08 Retakes and why Maths and English matter most45:01 OutroSome links in this description are affiliate links, which means we might receive a small commission if you click on them and buy something.

Back from a break and feeling strangely flat? In this episode, we discuss why switching off helps, why the restart can feel harder than expected, and how to get back into a steady rhythm without guilt or a huge “new year overhaul”.We use the DOSE idea (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins) to unpack what real rest looks like, plus a few simple, realistic habits to improve focus, sleep, and momentum in January.⸻🎶 : https://soundcloud.com/flipswitch/recovery💻 Website: https://www.redbridgetuition.co.uk/👨 📖 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rtgtuition📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redbridgetuition🔊 Podcast: https://education-lounge.co.uk/⚙️ Equipment:Sound 🔊Behringer XM8500 Microphone - https://amzn.to/3IcIPFqMic Stand - https://amzn.to/3BK7j6nXLR Cables - https://amzn.to/33GSgOrAudio Interface (Behringer UMC404HD) - https://amzn.to/3h4f8uaUSB B to USB C Cable - https://amzn.to/35ePfVRVideo 🎥 Camera - iPhone 16 Pro: https://amzn.to/3W2ohWyCable for iPhone Audio: https://amzn.to/3un6jRE​​Adapter for iPhone: https://amzn.to/2NU9saY​​Lighting: https://amzn.to/3MuyUNvApple iPad Pro 11": https://amzn.to/3lo7cWYApple Pencil 2: https://amzn.to/3Nq9n87Samsung T7 SSD: https://amzn.to/3qNOU2900:00 – Trailer00:50 – Back into routine after the break05:50 – DOSE explained (dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins)13:40 – Resetting without guilt18:00 – Mental space and silence23:30 – Notifications, phones, and attention33:20 – Labelling, identity, and resilience41:30 – The January re-entry dip (sleep, routine, dopamine swings)49:50 – Practical reset habits for adults and students1:01:00 – Slip-ups, flow state, and getting back on track1:07:30 – Wrap-upSome links in this description are affiliate links, which means we might receive a small commission if you click on them and buy something.
