Eltham College 7+ Junior School feedback

[itsmehere1]

Hello,
Looking for some feedback on Eltham college for my 6 yo daughter. We loved the school but a bit confused and concerned if we have missed anything. Would really appreciate any feedback or advice from parents who have kids in Eltham College or have considered it for your daughter.
Also can anyone point to how the assessments were for 7+? I have seen the website guidance but looking for personal ones. Thank you so much!

Anyone please?

If you were not going to take the 11+ then it's a good choice if you live close by(I know, a few if's). Otherwise I'd wait until 11+ and have all the offers on the table then can decide, as you're not guaranteed a place in their senior school if you seek elsewhere. It's quite an expensive junior school in the area.

7+ has been fairly easy to pass since the VAT increase, as a matter of fact I haven't heard many stories of those who couldn't get it. They might send some the first offers and put some on the reserve list but eventually they all seem to get offers. Private schools are all struggling a little, no matter what they claim. You might want to do some bond paper and interview prep but depends on the child it should be more or less enough. Good luck deciding. x

My friend pulled their dd out of the school and went back to their prep school. They said that the school won’t give you a guaranteed place if you choose to do 11+ for elsewhere and they didn’t rate the school that highly and it wasn’t that academic despite requiring 7+ assessments, so I agree with previous poster.
