Good evening. My child is in year 4 in London and quite average (based on feedback from teachers over the years). He needs to work on this and that but is keeping up generally. Private schools are not an option for us. Is it worth me putting him through the 11+ exams for the selective grammar? Put differently, I don’t want to put my son through all that stress and extra work when, ultimately, he is unlikely to succeed in making the cut for the selective grammar and we won’t be able to fall back on private schools (eg in the event that he does well enough to get into a private school but not well enough to get into a state grammar). He only has one childhood and these years are valuable. Many thanks.
