Supporting 11+ success, every step of the way! We are your 11+ Experts!
A little bit about us
At Kingsbury Education, we help children in Bournemouth and Poole tackle the 11+ Grammar School Test with confidence, skills and a smile! Our tuition is built on a deep understanding of the challenges of the 11+, combined with years of hands-on teaching experience in both leading state and independent schools.
​
We’re proud to be the local 11+ Experts! We love taking on the challenge of helping children shine at these crucial moments in their education. At Kingsbury Education, it’s all about building skills, boosting confidence, and making learning enjoyable along the way!

Director and 11+ Tutor
Hi, I’m Pete!
​
I’ve spent the past 20 years working as a teacher, school leader, and tutor, both locally, nationally, and across Europe. I’m passionate about helping children succeed and thrive at this exciting stage in their education.
​
Alongside my wife, Franny, I run Kingsbury Education, where we empower children to tackle the 11+ with confidence and resilience. I especially love seeing students grow in self-belief, take on challenges they once thought impossible, and develop habits that will support their success long beyond the test.
​
At Kingsbury Education, we don’t just prepare children for the 11+, we guide them to reach their potential, enjoy the learning journey, and build the skills and confidence to thrive in school and life!
Francesca Broadhead
11+ Tutor
Hello, I’m Franny!
​
Pete and I make a great team! We teach together, parent together, and dedicate ourselves to all things 11+ here in Poole and Bournemouth. We feel lucky to raise our family so close to the beach and be part of such a wonderful local community.
​
My background is in Montessori education; alongside being an experienced teacher, I’m also a mum. I have a keen interest in child development and love encouraging a growth mindset. Our brains grow stronger when they’re challenged!
​
Together, Pete and I work hard to create a calm, positive environment where children feel supported to take risks, learn from mistakes, and develop resilience. Our approach is not only about building the key skills for the 11+; it’s also about helping children form great learning habits.
We believe that working hard towards a goal is a fantastic life lesson!
