The Secret to Successful NLCS Assessment Preparation.
/Know what the school are actually looking for in their prospective new students.
Your daughter will need thorough and bespoke tuition for NLCS. You absolutely must only work with a teacher who has real and actual experience with this school.
NLCS is one of the hardest schools to get into at 4+ (and 7+!) but today I am talking about the 4+.
Don’t ever underestimate how hard it will be to get into this school.
This school is so overly subscribed each year. Hundreds of parents want their daughter to go to North London Collegiate School.
Having visited it several times myself and even having lunch there once with the teachers, I have seen exactly what it is like to be at this school. Their facilities are exceptional and the grounds are just divine. I get it!
I have prepared hundreds of girls for the 4+ Assessment at NLCS over the last 15 years and what I’ve learnt is this. Passing the first round is very challenging. As in, it’s very hard to pass!
If your daughter does pass, passing the second round is also challenging but not as challenging as the first round.
If your daughter makes it to the second round, it’s because NLCS have seen that she is the right fit for their school. They have seen through assessing her that she will be able to thrive at their school. In the second round, they will be assessing her further, deeper and more thoroughly.
In my experience passing the first round is the hardest part.
NLCS have a very specific Assessment criteria in the sense of what they are looking for.
Work with a teacher who knows this well and who can actually support your daughter to gain entry into this school.
We have supported girls to be very successful at gaining entry to NLCS for over 15 years. In fact, I supported one of my oldest students with her Spanish GCSE last year! She worked with me when she was 6 and I prepared her for her 7+ at NLCS!
