This lively and engaging club is designed to help students in year 1 looking ahead to 7+ assessment. With most schools withdrawing the 8+ entry point, 7+ is now the last major intake before 11+ and 13+, and is becoming increasingly competitive.
This weekly session is designed to help students prepare for key aspects of the 7+ which are often overlooked – dictation, verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning and key topics in maths which will be tested and must be covered – time, money, fractions and geometry.
Course Schedule
Each week will cover a single topic, which will be taught in class and reinforced with homework to aid retention. To help keep the group lively and engaging, students will participate in a lively learning game. They will be rewarded with points which they can use to purchase prizes as the course progresses.
As this group is likely to be well-attended, please do sign up early.
