Henry was already at a good prep in London, but his parents had a particular school in mind for his secondary education. They wanted to avoid the pressure of the 11 Plus and so wanted him to move to his destination school at 7 Plus.
Henry’s mental mathematics was good, but he needed practice understanding money and he could not yet tell the time accurately.
His handwriting was also rudimentary, meaning he was not able to write enough when asked to compose a creative writing piece.
Henry’s prep school had not yet started teaching him verbal and non-verbal reasoning.
Henry attended our 7 Plus school on Saturday morning in Dulwich for two terms of his Reception year and the whole of Year One. Henry also sat some mock exams with us to practice his exam technique and experience invigilation conditions. In addition, Henry rehearsed both individual interviews and the group tasks and group discussions that are a growing and important part of 7 Plus admissions process for the best schools in London.
Henry and his parents invested a great deal of time and effort into Henry’s 7 Plus preparation. Our specialist teachers accelerated the whole of the Year two curriculum with him and crucially, developed his handwriting so that he could get through the written papers in sufficient time. Henry was delighted to accept an all through offer from Dulwich College and has made a great start to his time there.
