CONSULTANCY
The 7+, 11+, PreTest, 13+ processes can be daunting, for both you and your child. Kathryn can help.
Managed well, many key life skills will develop along this journey: healthy learning habits; revision techniques; exam techniques; time management; resilience; interview skills. Your child will be visiting and sitting exams at senior schools, in unfamiliar environments and conditions not dissimilar to GCSEs and A-levels. All skills learned in preparation for this will continue to benefit your child throughout education and life beyond, in addition to ensuring the best chance for a place at the school of your choice.
It is really worth managing this process well.
