Distraught, devastated and shocked
/One of my ex- clients told me that I am scaremongering parents and this is absolutely not the case. She had 4 lessons with me and took up far more hours of my time than she had paid for with my support and dedication towards her family and her child – who by the way was successful to a top Boys’ school for his 4+.
I am simply speaking the truth to you. Because I know how important the best quality education is for our children. The futures it will open up for them and their experiences of childhood are very important to me and I take them very seriously. Why would I need to scaremonger? For what reason? I am here to attract the highest calibre of clients and students. Clients who take the 4+ Assessment process seriously and children who want to work hard and be dedicated to their learning.
I have no need to scaremonger, believe me. Upon reflection, it says more about her than about me. She was the one scared about the 4+ Assessment process. I’m not.
Distraught, devastated and shocked are three words that I have heard parents use when they called me to tell me that their child did not pass the 4+ Assessment at Manor Lodge. Manor Lodge is a dream school for many parents for many different reasons.
They don’t realise how hard it is to be offered a place at this school. They don’t take the 4+ Assessment process seriously enough. They say things like, ‘What would they even ask a 3 year old anyway?’ and ‘Isn’t it ridiculous to prepare a 3 year old for an assessment?’ They assume that because they are paying for their child’s education that they will just be offered a place. It does not work that way. You and 500 + other parents can afford to pay for a private school education for their children
So don’t be distraught, devastated and shocked. Be delighted, thrilled and over the moon. Prepare your child for the Manor Lodge 4+ Assessment and prepare them well.
And if you don’t, don’t expect miraculous results. If your child doesn’t meet the assessment set by the school (sibling or not), they will not pass the 4+ at Manor lodge.
