Commons Education invites you to their event

Boys and the 11+

About this event

Back in the days of Enid Blyton’s 'lashings of ginger beer', sorting out senior school was all very straightforward. Girls went to day schools at 11, and boys went off to board at 13. Now, the London educational landscape is very different. The combination of a lack of places in selective secondary schools, increased incidence of SEND among boys, popular schools going co-ed reducing places available, and the psychological fallout from Covid have all formed a perfect storm for our boys.

This lunchtime webinar with Adam D'Souza and Mel Ingle will give you tips to navigate the senior school transfer process with your son, and help him to thrive in the next step of his education.

Who is this for? 

Parents with sons in primary or prep school, who are looking ahead to 11+ transfer to selective senior/secondary schools.

What will you learn? 

  • The London selective school “landscape” for boys in 2025
  • Wildcard/creative options
  • How to choose which schools to apply to – making a plan
  • How to gain a place at a selective school without overwhelming your son with entrance exams
  • Insights on pre-teen psychology: keeping boys motivated through the slog of 11+

Why attend? 

To understand how to most effectively support your son through the 11+ process, helping him to realise his potential without overwhelming him.
