what 11+ preparation do schools do
my daughter is doing her 11+ next january her school has told us that there will be no 11+ prepration done at school,is this right with other schools
11+ preparation in schools
From my own experience it does depend on the school your child attends. Some schools are happy to have preparation classes (even if they are called something else and done after school) others will not do anything at all. Luck of the draw it would seem!
There were a handful of children who took their 11+ at my son's school. We asked a direct question and were given a direct answer. There was no preparation or help given at the school. We were given advise on doing 11+ test papers with him which we did from the previous July. He did test papers on Thursday and Friday followed by the real thing on Monday and Tuesday.
We tutored him, gently and steadily, - he passed well. I know that 3 were tutored by a tutor and passed but I don't know their scores.
Make of it what you may but my advise is that they need to get use to the format. Having said that his teacher was helpful and encouraging.
Good luck!!
