Welcome to our new members! What is your BIG 11+ challenge?

A warm welcome to all our new members in still chilly March!

Many of you have joined and I am so happy to be able to serve you.

The 11 Plus Journey OS community is the Operating System that I put together for YOU.

There's so much information on the 11 Plus. It can get very confusing so I wanted to create a place where there is a little less overwhelm.

As new members, you will get access to the 'goal setting module' for free. 🥳🎉

This module deals with our aims, goals, desires, wants and needs.

Setting goals is very important. Writing your goals down is even more important. When you do that it makes dreams real. Finish the assignments and worksheets in the module to flesh out your aims.

I want you to do this exercise this week, whether your child is in Year 3, 4 or 5. It is a great exercise to do. It will bring up things that you never even thought of.

For example, am I clear about why I want my child to get a place in XXXX school?

Can I move into the area before the tests which is part of the school's admission rules?

Is my postcode in the catchment area of my dream school?

There is another freebie for you. The Schools Admission Guide!! 🤩🥳

Parents always ask me about what schools to target.

How do I find out catchment rules?

How do I find out what subjects the school tests children in?

The Schools Admission Guide is an Excel sheet and you can make a copy that has schools listed divided by areas. There are links to the admission web page. The catchment route policy page, the Ofsted reports progress, Progress 8, the the test format, and all the information that you might need to know on a school including the emails and the website.

Putting the course together has been a journey in itself. I am so glad that I did because I know it helps parents understand, master and ace the 11 Plus tests. IT CAN HELP YOU TOO!

I want to start your 11+ journey in the OS community (which is short for operating system btw) by asking you this IMPORTANT QUESTION:

What is the biggest challenge that you are facing in the 11+ process?

Is it to do with your child's reluctant reluctance to do work?

Is your child struggling with a particular topic?

Is it that you are undecided on which school to target and how to shortlist schools?

What is your biggest challenge? ❓

It can be anything small or big. Don't be shy, write it down.

I will help because this is what this community is about.

I might even answer your questions in a Q&A session. The Q&As are for the parents who have signed up for the course but if there are enough questions, I may give access to our members once for them to answer their most pressing questions! 🤩🥳💛👉🎉
