In addition to school what areas / skills should my child be working through?

MATHS AND ENGLISH AT SCHOOL

Maths and English knowledge which your child learns at school are the basis for all 11 plus exams. With this in mind, we’d love it if your child is working hard in these subjects at school.Â Â

In terms of Maths, a knowledge of some year 6 Maths topics (which we will cover in the course) could also be helpful, as in order to demonstrate a high level of ability, this seems like a way to be able to establish this.

READING AT HOME TO BUILD VOCABULARY

We feel that it is important that your child reads a broad range of books on varying topics to extend general vocabulary which is the basis for the English sections.

NEW KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO LEARN WITHIN THIS COURSE

Additional areas to cover are:

NVR- Non- Verbal Reasoning

English Skills such as shuffled sentences, cloze, synonyms and antonyms.

Don’t worry – all of these will be explained later on in the course and your child will have opportunity to practise all of these areas.
