These are fee paying schools which require an entrance exam such as Bancroft’s, Brentwood, Chigwell, City of London, Forest, St Edmund’s etc.
They require Maths, English including comprehension and Essay, Verbal reasoning and occasionally Non-Verbal Reasoning.
English
This is covered in weekly lessons with a comprehension and verbal/ general knowledge questions and essay.
Maths
All our Maths books are geared for Common Entrance. The children work through them at their own pace.
Interview Techniques
During October one weekend is devoted entirely to interview techniques. All pupils spend their 2 hour lesson talking and making notes in preparation for their interviews to the schools.
Our 11+ Courses in July and August cover high level Maths and English Scholarship questions.
Past Exam Papers
All children from September/October to January now have a Maths and an English paper which has a marking system. This is marked by our teachers following the exam guidelines. They then continue with their Maths and English at their own level.
JUST TO ELABORATE ON THIS POINT
MANY YEAR 6 CHILDREN ARE WORKING AT THE LEVEL OF YEARS 7, 8 & 9.
WE WORK AT THEIR PACE.
