11+ SEN provisions

[Sengah]

Does anyone have experience of what a “prompt” might look like in an 11+ exam setting please?

If your child has learning SEN they’re probably not right for a grammar school.

Depends what SEN it is. If your child has social and emotional difficulties, they will be very well looked after in the exam and if they obtain a place.

Your LO will need to be working at greater depth/2 years ahead of cohort.

Have a child with autism at a super selective.

Did you mean someone prompting them to focus when writing an exam?

My child had a prompt. It was there to remind them to focus if they appeared to drift or freeze. In the event, the nature of the exam is so fast moving and mostly divided into sections, they only needed one prompt during the maths paper when they froze ( a symptom of their condition).

I think the meaning of 11+ here is just their age, not the 11+ grammar school tests.

I could be mistaken though.

This is ridiculous.

My DD has dyslexia and ADHD. She has a prompt because she needed someone to refocus her sometimes and to just check she hadn't missed an entire page of the booklet. She can do all of the content (and scored super well!)

The prompt can just keep them on track if they look like staring out of the window for too long.

We found it helped in 11+ but the one used for sats was useless and didn't do anything. So it is variable. I'd speak to the school and the person who will be prompting beforehand.

Thank you.
