Year 5 Brain Training
Dear Year 5 Parents
As you will no doubt be aware, the local authority 11+ exams for entry into Year 7 in 2024 are scheduled to take place on 16 and 17 September 2023, most likely on the second weekend of September. Registration for the exam opened in May 2023 and will close on 30 June.
With this in mind, we would like to invite this year’s Year 5 children in for two days of Pre-Season Brain Training Sessions on Wednesday 30 August and Thursday 31 August 2023. These will run from 9.00am until 12.45pm each day.
The children will spend each morning with their familiar Crescent teachers, including Ms Forth, Mrs Webb and Mr Adkins, getting them back into gear and ready for their exams. Each day there will be taught sessions focusing on the four strands of the 11+; verbal reasoning, non-verbal reasoning, Maths and English comprehension. Needless to say, these skills will also be useful for their Princethorpe exams on Saturday 11 November, as well as any other independent school exams they may be entered for.
Children will be expected to arrive in school smartly dressed with a mid-morning snack. They do not need to wear school uniform.
These sessions will be in addition to the revision packs that we send home at the end of the Summer Term. I am pleased to say that there will be no charge for attendance.
Best wishes
