I think I've been a bit naive - I had no idea that extra tutoring, outside of school hours was so prevalent. I've just come back from half term with a group of friends from the London school my children used to go to and discovered that Maths, English and pre-test tutors for Wellington (if they don't get into Eton or a London day school) etc is de rigeur. So now I'm asking myself whether I should do the same for my son who is doing the pre-test this September...it galls me slightly that we're at a private school( now outside of London) but I almost feel obliged to hire someone who has access to CAT online tests just incase my DS doesn't get in! Is the Wellington pre-test quite rigorous? I know people say you can't prepare for it, but having talked to some of the most rated tutoring agencies who don't come as far as Haslemere - does the world stop at the M25?! - it seems that's exactly what they do. I am not going to get angsty about this, but really?! This is all sounding a little crazy.
