Hi all
We are currently looking at options for our Y4 DD for when she goes on to secondary (can't believe it all starts so early!). For various reasons, we have decided not to go for the 11+, and are looking at local state and also local independents. We initially thought we wouldn't need a tutor as the 11+ wasn't in the frame, but as a state school kid myself, i think maybe we are missing the point, and we should get one for the entrance exams needed for the independents. As she is at a state primary, she won't have any help from them for the exams.
Does anyone have any views/experience on this? Like I said, I and DH both went through the state system, so we are really out of our depth with the whole thing at the moment!
