Competition! 11+ Preparation Pack

I have a 10 year old son who, in September, will be sitting the 11+ test along with children of his age all around the country. It's a worrying time for both parents and children. If your primary school has indicated that your child may be capable of passing then it really could determine the rest of their school years. I have an older son who is at our local grammar school. It is a mixed school and my eldest son has settled in very well and made lots of new friends. He seems happy there and they are working them hard. My youngest really wants to go there, not just because his brother goes but he has been in and had a look and loves the drama department( regular followers will know he is a budding actor in the making!). We have also been told he has the potential to pass the 11+. There starts the worry, the will he/ won't he process. We want to prepare him without stressing him for the test. We helped our eldest progressively over the summer holidays to keep him in learning mode without pushing him to work everyday. Now we want to do the same for our youngest son. We wouldn't be normal parents if we didn't help our children fulfil their potential in whatever they do!!


So, if your in the same position this is definitely for you. A pack that contains all you need to help you as a parent understand the tests and also help to prepare your child.
This is a very easy competition to enter:
