Hello,
My son is in year 4. He's always been very bright with regards to literacy and is currently a 4b in both reading and writing. Mathematics is his weaker subject with a level of 3a. I know that none of these levels are exceptional, but the school has always led us to believe that he was doing very well and was considered within the top band of pupils for his age group.
On Friday, when he came home, he told me that four of his classmates had been given a letter offering them in-school tuition for the 11 plus. I'm presuming that they're all more rounded in their abilities, hence them being selected. I have no problem with this, but just wondered if it was worth approaching the school to see if my son can still sit the 11 plus (either with tuition from us or potentially a private tutor) or are we being a bit naive and perhaps he's not really grammar school material? What levels in year 4 would indicate that a child has the potential to possibly pass the 11 plus?
Any input gratefully received.
Thanks.
