Less fretting. More fine fettle.

The four stages

Frettle SATs (Years 3–6)

Confident, curriculum-ready KS2 SATs practice.

• Adaptive maths and English practice — reading plus grammar, punctuation and spelling
• Timed practice papers with indicative scaled scores (80–120 range)
• A parent dashboard that answers “how are they doing?”

GrammarPrep (Years 4–6 · exam sat in Year 6)

Realistic 11+ practice your child actually wants to do.

• All four 11+ subjects — Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning
• Realistic timed mocks built for the GL, CEM and CSSE formats
• Region-by-region guides for grammar-school areas across England

Frettle KS3 (Years 7–9)

Stay exam-fit between the 11+ and GCSE.

• Short, steady sessions that keep skills warm — not a revision grind
• The profile from the 11+ or SATs carries straight in, nothing re-explained
• The dashboard spots drift early, years before GCSE prep starts

Frettle GCSE (Years 10–11)

GCSE Maths and English, tailored by years of knowing your child.

• Maths and English Language today — more subjects on the way
• Timed practice mocks with indicative 9-1 grades (a guide, never a prediction)
• Prep starts from years of evidence, not a blank page

Why one platform

• The engine that never forgets — FocusPlan keeps one continuous record of every question your child has ever answered, across every stage. The engine that knew them at 10 still knows them at 13 — strengths, gaps and the topics that always need a second pass all carry forward.
• One subscription covers every stage — A single subscription unlocks whichever stage your child is at — SATs, 11+, KS3 or GCSE — and the Family Annual plan covers up to three children, each with their own profile and progress tracking. Nothing extra to buy when they move up.
• No starting over between stages — No new tutor to brief, no fresh diagnostic from zero, no blank page in Year 10. When your child moves stages, their history moves with them — so the next stage starts from evidence rather than guesswork.

How it works

1. Add your child once — Create one profile: year group and the exams on their horizon. It takes about two minutes — the engine runs a gentle placement over the first few sessions, no formal sit-down test.
2. Practice adapts at their stage — Whatever stage they are at, FocusPlan serves short sessions at exactly the right level and adjusts as they improve — stretching what's strong, rebuilding what's shaky.
3. Move stages when they do — history intact — When SATs end or Year 7 begins, the profile simply moves up. Everything the engine has learned about your child keeps working at the next stage.
4. One parent dashboard the whole way — From Year 3 to Year 11 you watch the same dashboard: strengths, gaps and progress by topic, with weekly email summaries so you stay informed without hovering.

Frequently asked questions

What is Frettle, and how is it different from GrammarPrep?

Frettle is the platform; GrammarPrep is its 11+ stage. Most families meet us through GrammarPrep when they're preparing for grammar-school entry, but the same account and the same adaptive engine also power Frettle SATs (Years 3–6), Frettle KS3 (Years 7–9) and Frettle GCSE (Years 10–11). There's nothing separate to sign up for — one profile spans every stage.

What does the subscription cover?

Everything. One subscription unlocks whichever stage your child is at — KS2 SATs, the 11+, KS3 or GCSE — including adaptive practice, timed mocks and the parent dashboard. Moving between stages costs nothing extra. The Family Annual plan covers up to three children, each with their own profile and separate progress tracking.

Which stages are live today?

All four. KS2 SATs covers maths and English (reading plus grammar, punctuation and spelling); the 11+ covers all four subjects — Maths, English, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning; KS3 covers maths and English for Years 7–9; and GCSE covers Maths and English Language today, with more subjects on the way.

Do we keep our child's data when they move stages?

Yes — that's the point of the platform. One profile keeps one continuous record across every stage, so the engine that knew your child at 10 still knows them at 13 and at 15. Strengths, gaps and learning patterns all carry forward; nothing is reset and nothing has to be re-explained.

How much does it cost, and is there a free trial?

Plans start at under 66p a day on an annual subscription — a typical £40 one-hour tutor session costs as much as 60 days of practice. Every new account gets a 7-day free trial with no card required; we'll email you on day 5 so you can decide before anything is charged. Every paid plan also includes a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Why is it called Frettle?

It's a blend of “fretting” and “in fine fettle” — the old English phrase for being fit, healthy and in good condition. Exam years make parents fret; our job is to turn that fretting into fine fettle. A child who's calm, prepared and ready for every exam that matters, from the Year 6 SATs to GCSE results day — and a parent who can finally worry a little less.
