7 Plus Group Interview Practice

In our group interview practice session we give the group assembled a task that has actually been given in a 7 plus group session at a top independent school in London. We observe your child’s participation and behaviours throughout the task. Afterwards you will receive a telephone consultation with our Director of Education for detailed feedback about how your child did and what they can practice to improve next time.

Course fee: £300

Interview dates: 8th November (Hampstead)

Time: 10.30am -12pm

You can book above. Or please get in touch with our 11+ Co-ordinator to discuss a bespoke programme for your child.

Independent schools are increasingly using a group interview stage to help them discern between candidates. Traditional one to one interviews allow schools to see whether children have bright ideas and have the right motivations for applying to the school. The group exercise allows them to see how children collaborate, relate to each other and also how they will behave in a classroom environment. We have begun to introduce practice sessions for group tasks as more and more schools have started to require them.

At Mentor Education we believe in great teaching and the Group Interviews are planned and delivered by our Director of Education, Gill Cross. Until last year, Gill was Deputy Head of one of the Girls’ Day School Trust schools, responsible for admissions. Her expertise means that she is an expert in school entrance preparation. The programme was developed in conjunction with Mary Lonsdale, author of the best selling book “How to Pass the 11 Plus”.
