The 11+ goes beyond this list, and so does Pip

These statutory spelling words are the foundation for spelling and accuracy. The 11+ also rewards richer vocabulary: the Tier 2 words, synonyms and antonyms, and the trickier words that lift a child's writing and verbal reasoning. Pip keeps adding new words beyond the list and brings back the ones your child finds hardest, so they stay a step ahead.
