Hi all.
My son has just turned 9. We are two yearseparate away from the 11plus test and will be applying for the Sutton grammar school. I am self tutoring him although his okay in maths he finds English (creative writing, handwriting and some comprehension) a little difficult.
I have been told that he has enough time to prepare and I believe this too but I just want some advise on what I should focus on for example what is the best way to help him learn how to write a long and short story, help on handwriting and comprehension.
He is a very bright child and as we live in a very bad area I do not wish for him to end up in a secondary school close to home which has been classed as one of the worst in the borough.
Thank you for your time
