3 facts about NLCS at 7+ that you should definitely know about!
/There are only 8 places available to enter the school into year 3. So that means that out of the hundreds of girls that will apply to sit their 7+ Assessments, only 8 will be successful.
Your daughter will need to be exceptional all round to pass this incredibly tough 7+ Assessment.
Registration is now open and you can click here to Register your daughter for her 7+ Assessment (2025 entry) You have until the 1st November 2024 to apply.
Round 1 is on Friday 1st November. Round 2 is on Tuesday 3rd December. This gives you just under 6 months to prepare. This is not enough time so hopefully you’ve started earlier than this. I would recommend my students start preparing for this school from January of their Reception Year or at the very latest May of their Reception year.
There is way too much to cover to be starting now. Just being honest with you.
As a company we will not be offering tuition to girls starting later than the dates specified above. However, I will provide Curriculum Coaching for parents who would still like to ensure that their daughter is as best prepared as possible to sit their 7+ Assessment nat NLCS in January 2025.
Round 1 involves:
Writing an imaginative story using full sentences and some interesting vocabulary.
Reading fluently with understanding and give answers to written questions.
Writing the answers to questions.
Understanding the concepts of addition, subtraction, multiplication and ‘sharing’/division and be able to apply these rules in order to solve word problems.
Know their times tables.
Have an understanding of shape, time and money.
Interpret tables and charts.
If your daughter is successful at passing this round, she will be invited to Round 2 which will be a day at the school, usually call a ‘day in action’.
2. Your daughter will need to have developed a strong stamina for completing the Assessment within the timeframe allocated.
Round 1 will really test your daughter’s stamina.
As well as being able to complete everything to an incredibly high standard, she will need to ensure that she has a strong stamina to allow her to actually complete all of the questions that she will be asked to complete in her Round 1 Assessment. Please don’t underestimate this.
3. Your daughter will need to be at a secure level of a Year 3 student to calmly and confidently pass her 7+ Assessment at NLCS.
Parents don’t believe me when I tell them this. Why would I lie?
Whatever you think of the 7+ Assessment at NLCS. 10x that and that’s what it will be like. Expect the level to be challenging. Expect the vocabulary to be challenging. Expect that your daughter will need to write an amazing story. Expect the maths questions to challenge her. Expect her to be scoring 85%-90% across the board.
