11 Plus Weekend School for years 4,5 and 6 - Spots still available! Post Reply

[Jess from Mentor Education]

We believe that children can and should be supported to run their own best race for the 11 Plus. This is the philosophy upon which our weekend school was created and still applies today. Our weekend school supports both Year 4 and Year 5 children ideally for a whole academic year or both years 4 and 5. During that time we focus on three main principles:

• Accelerating the National Curriculum by one year to make sure children have been taught every aspect of the 11 plus curriculum
  
• Building up their skills in Maths, English and Reasoning by teaching them the best techniques/methods to work quickly and accurately
  
• Focusing on exam technique, exam practice and most importantly speed!
  

When your child reaches Year 6, our weekend school classes ramp up, become more bespoke to each child and encompass new and higher level skills. Lessons become focused on consolidating your child’s knowledge of the 11 Plus curriculum, exam practice and preparing your child more broadly for their assessments, including the exams themselves, assessment days, invigilated lessons, and individual and group interviews.
We spend the final eight weeks of teaching focusing on the hardest elements of the 11 Plus syllabus, exam technique, mark acquisition and working at optimal speed. In the final few weeks group lessons finish and we focus on your child’s own individual 11 plus journey. Knowing their targets schools and their progress in the classroom, we prepare them to show their best on their big day.
 
Your child will receive a practice interview with our Education Director, tailored to your school choices. These sessions are tailored to your child, and you will receive verbal feedback after the session. Your child will also take part in a practice Group interview, as this is becoming a very popular method of assessments for schools, and it is important that your child develops and learns the appropriate skills to shine in a group setting.

Then finally your child will receive a full set of Mocks, meaning they will receive an English, Maths and Reasoning exam. These mocks will take place in week 5 and helps us to outline the the final few areas we need to focus on during their last lessons. This also still gives you an appropriate amount of time to find out the results and spend time at home practicing. These Mocks are then marked by an experience 11 Plus tutor and a written report is sent to you over half term.
 
These additional services mean that your child gets the best all round preparation. With 3 years of 90% of our children gaining entry to their first or second choice school, we are confident we can help your child succeed.
