Liverpool Bluecoats entrance, anyone know any info?

[MrsShrek3]

ds2 wants to apply, he is capable afaik. He's now y5, has level 5s in all core subjects and reading age beyond the scale for that particular test (so 16+) last year. He doesn't appear to know he's clever but likes the idea of that school and its opportunities. pointers would be most welcome

Hi,

My daughter is in year 4 now and is starting to do some prep work for Bluecoat. We are using a lovely teacher called Beth and it’s online group work. She gets some homework and the groups are 3-4 children. I’ve told her it’s really competitive and there is a strong possibility she may not get in but the work will help with the senior school she gets in to anyway.

does anyone have any tips ? Thansk

Also where can you get past papers from.

Hello. Can anyone recommend a tutor in knowsley area that can tutor for the Bluecoat exam. We are looking at the 2024 admissions. This is all new to me..Do they tend to come to your home? Any advice would really be appreciated. Thanks 😊

Hi Gabby can you please inbox me your child tutor details. It has to be done online through this summer as we are not in liverpool. I am new to the grammar system. My daughter has been doing the GL packs for sometime now but nothing guided for a particular exam. Overall she is bright. So worth giving a go. Email - [email protected]

Hi sorry to reply to an old thread but I was hoping you could share your tutor details please? I’m out of the area and finding it difficult to identify a suitable tutor for my son for the Bluecoat exam. I’d be so grateful for your suggestions.

Hi that sounds so much like my daughter. Was the teacher Mes Noaman?

We are in knowsley and whilst our son has a few years to go we are not confident in secondary schools within knowsley. Doing some research shows bluecoats being an obvious one although what are people's experience as some chat negativity. I see on some threads that other schools are mentioned in Liverpool for exams but can only see girls schools are there any for cooed or boys. Also can anyone recommend schools of a good standard should exam route not be an option that would be within knowsley catchment as listening to some families they are not even getting any of their third choices.
Apologies for the long post or ignorance but obviously just trying to get a feel for things as we don't know the areas. any advice gratefully received. Tia

[Arianelsa]

Hi i found out ur child going to blue coat
Could u plese recommend me any tutor if u had for ur child
Thanks

[Mayada22]

in answer to aazanwar.....bluecoat does not have an oficial catchment area. They take the highest 180 out of around a 1000 that take tge entrance exams. Its practically down to you to ensure hour kids can travel. Many have privat taxis, buses.....parents get together to arrange travel from an area sometimes. My daughter travels 15 miles with me as i work nearby. She gets there quicker than local children walking and using buses......must consider practicality of it all though

We used tutorhunt to find a tutor. As an academic myself i am very much for senior peer tutoring, which is where you use an older student. Tutor hunt has several senior students at bluecoats, with some teaching experience. It worked great and far better in my view than getting a general entrance exam older tutor...

[Mayada22]

We got our letter 3 weeks after exam which confirms a place if your child is accepted in band A. I have no experience in others bands. I do know some have thier letters already this year.
Once you have the letter, and its positive, you have a place guarranteed. Filling in the council choice is tgen an academic exercise.

Hi is anyone waiting on their childs results for this year? Also any people from previous years can you let me know when did you receive the email? Is it a set time or randomly throughout the day? Thanks

What is Catchment area of blue coat school Liverpool

[JAnks]

Hello all,

I'm not sure if anyone is still reading this thread, but I am a private tutor based in Woolton VIllage. I provide one on one preparation for 11+, NVR and entrance exams, including Blue Coat (I am a former pupil, too!).

I don't think I can link to my site here, but if you search for "Dr John Ankers Woolton", you'll find me.

I hope I can be of help.

Best wishes,

John.

Also looking for a recommended tutor. Seems everyone I ask says that tutors are booked for several years ahead. The frenzy puts you in a panic! I don't need the tutor for another year but would prefer someone decent with good reputation. Thanks in anticipation.
