11+ Preparation

A Tailored Path to Senior School Success

From the earliest years, we thoughtfully prepare pupils for a successful transition to Senior School, with 11+ preparation woven naturally into everyday learning.

Our approach focuses on developing strong academic foundations, critical thinking skills and confidence, ensuring children are fully prepared for entrance assessments while continuing to enjoy a broad and enriching education. Through regular assessments and personalised guidance we help each pupil achieve their potential and find the senior school that is the right fit for them.

Above all, we place wellbeing at the heart of the process, supporting pupils with encouragement and care so they approach their next steps with confidence. We are proud of our strong record of success, with many Year 6 pupils receiving offers from a range of highly sought-after senior schools

Skilled and knowledgeable teachers use high-quality resources to plan stimulating activities that challenge and support pupils as appropriate.
