Children on the 7 Plus and 11 Plus programmes extensively cover all topics required. They are prepared for the entrance exams by practising story formats and topics which are known to be repeated.
For those enrolled on our 11 Plus programme, a rigorous practise of different exam type questions is covered including GL, CEM, grammar school and independent school formats – with particular focus on exam techniques, time-keeping and, when required, interview preparation is covered.
