Assessment Information

Prior to joining our groups, we require all children to undergo an assessment. Leveraging Helen’s extensive experience assessing students, we can provide valuable feedback on your child’s standing relative to the broader competition. By comparing your child to a diverse pool of students, both historically and currently, and considering the school landscape, we can offer an indication of potential school options. Our student body includes pupils from various top schools, enabling us to provide practical advice on school choices.

To discuss your child’s assessment, please schedule an appointment with us. Unfortunately, we do not offer trial lessons as our groups are fully subscribed each term. 

In exceptional cases where the term has already commenced, we may admit children without an assessment if you can demonstrate their strong performance at school.

The assessments involve standardised tests that factor in the child’s age and benchmark their performance against a national average. With years of experience conducting these assessments, we can offer insights into suitable schools for your child. We also conduct assessments for children not intending to join the groups; feel free to book below. Please note that these tests incur a separate fee of £200.

Why does my child need an assessment?

In order for the children attending the classes to fully benefit from the dynamic of a group session the children need to be performing at the appropriate level for the schools that most children are aiming for. These are usually the most academic schools in London.

My child is doing well at school but is only average?

We welcome children of different abilities but if your child needs special support with any particular aspect of their work then group lessons are not always the most appropriate way of helping them. If they require some expert support following the assessment we can advise you of the various other options available.

Assessment Tests

We offer assessment tests for children aged 6 to 11. These consist of standardised maths and english tests.

Notes

Please arrive punctually. Please prepare your child so they are not surprised and upset to have to do some tests (especially younger students)

Parents are not allowed to help or watch the assessment so please drop off your child and leave once we have taken your details.

These tests are standardised maths tests and are adjusted according to your child’s age. The national average is 100.

Below 100- not suitable for private school mathematics exams.
100-110 – adequately numerate – not a likely candidate for the most academic schools
