11+ preparation in schools

Post by Guest123 »

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! :(

My daughter's school did four 1-hour sessions just before the exams. My friend's son's did nothing at all. Which school is your child at? I suggest you ask the head.

I can`t tell you what school she attends but i can tell you that this years year 6 had no help and noone passed, now is this because there was no help from the school?

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!!
