I am looking for any idea of a private school that would accept my son for year 7+, he is 11 for this September. I would like a classic school but we really want strong academics offered. Willing to travel a bit. Help!! ANy ideas?

Do you want to tell us how academic your child is and if you have a preference for a 13+ Prep or Senior School, co-ed or single sex? Or an American School?

Then we can help with suggestions Smile

I'm not sure exactly to be honest! Sorry.

HI, yes you are right thanks for pointing that out. How do I change the message though? New to Mumsnet.

Two options:
Either go straight for Senior School entry, or look for a Prep School that finishes at 13+.

How academic is your child?

You may want to change the title of the post OP as it reads as though you're looking for the age 7+ exam entry (into Year 3) not 11+ exam entry in to Year 7. Or at least it's a little confusing.

11+ is the main year for transferring to senior school in the state system. But you're in luck as prep schools (private)m primary) prepare for 13+, and many will have space.
How long do you plan on staying? Do you want American system? Any chance of sending boarding at 13? All different factors to consider.
