Do you offer entrance exam assessments? 

• Our tutors take great care in preparing a child for the journey towards entrance exams and successfully securing a school place. 
• This starts with an interview with the parents to understand the child’s needs and goals in relation to schools. 
• Our tutors then conduct in-depth academic assessment to establish current levels of attainment. This informs a tailored learning programme for the child to achieve their full potential.
• Following the assessment our tutors prepare a comprehensive written report setting out recommendations. 
• This report forms the basis for a subsequent meeting with parents, in which we explore how best to support the child. 
• The selective school entry process can be daunting. We offer parents guidance and  share our extensive experience of what is required to successfully secure a place at the school of their choice. 
• The assessment advisory meeting provides families with the tools to make informed decisions about their child’s potential school choices.
