Our state school does 11+ tutoring for children who are at least level 4B by the end of year 4.

Our state primary does not prepare specifically for 11+, it is not mentioned at all and not many children attempt it, our eldest was the first for a number of years.

However, they do select the children they think are capable of Level 6 SATS and run extra morning and after school prep classes during year 6 - too late for 11+ of course, but still good stretch and preparation for senior school. They stretch the children in earlier years by mixing up the year groups. I feel happy with what is on offer at our state school, even if not specifically tailored to 11+. We accept that it's not the school's focus to do 11+ prep. Our youngest is in yr3 and is predicted L4b for end of year, so I can't really ask for more.

Agree with others re Indie's - it depends on the school, it tends to those that end at 11 and don't have a senior school who will do 11+ prep, and probably only in areas with grammar schools.
