So dd is in year 5 at a non-selective prep. She is top sets for everything and I had been quite relaxed re 11+ as the school has said repeatedly they do enough at school and NOT to tutor. DD came home last week and said that her class teacher asked for a show of hands re whether anyone was tutored and over half the class raised their hands. Is this usual? I can't really ask the mums at the school but it is making me a bit more nervous re 11+. I totally understand that state school parents would tutor but is tutoring so widespread among prep school kids too? I feel like dd gets enough homework and she has loads on after school with sport/clubs so I don't really want to add tutoring on top, plus I thought that's what prep schools were for but now wondering if she will make the cut when it comes to Indie exams if the competition is so ultra-prepped!!
