It is important that Year 5 children develop ownership of their learning, recognising their strengths and talents. Learning from mistakes is key to making progress and we believe that testing teaches children to become familiar with their strengths and weaknesses.

- Non-Verbal Reasoning
You can chart your child’s progress each month through our 11+ Mock Tests and improve in key areas.
