Changes to 11+ EXAMINATION FROM 2014

13/11/2013

4 Comments

 
The CSSE group has decided to make some changes to the 11+ examination

The decision has been taken in order to bring the papers more in line with the expectations of Level 5, KS2, National Curriculum, for both English and Mathematics and to better reflect the educational experience of primary school pupils.

There will not be a discrete Verbal Reasoning Paper.

New English Paper

The new English paper (in line with the expectation of Level 5, KS2, National Curriculum) will comprise:

  • Comprehension, grammar and vocabulary questions
  • Two pieces of creative writing
  • Applied reasoning (literacy/verbal)
 The paper will last 1 hour, with some additional reading time and will be worth 60 marks in total.

New Mathematics paper

The new Mathematics paper (in line with the expectations of Level 5, KS2, National Curriculum) will comprise:

  • Questions consistent with KS2 of the National Curriculum
  • Applied reasoning (mathematical/non-verbal)
 
The paper will last 1 hour and be worth 60 marks in total.

Mums, Coffee, Cakes and Maths

The Mums, Coffee , Cakes and Maths sessions are proving very popular. Run on a roughly monthly basis, these sessions are an opportunity for us mums to come to grips with this new-fangled way they have of teaching Maths nowadays. In a fun and relaxed way we chat through why maths is being taught so differently and how we can help our children to become more confident and capable in maths.
Here is what some of the mums have been saying about the sessions.......

...."A big, massive thank you to Sue Comber for being a fantastic Mum's tutor today. The Maths will not be so painful as I now have a better understanding of how it is taught in school. Thank you so much Sue, you did a great job. Keep up the good work. I feel like I have learnt so much today."
...."Thank you so much Sue for the brilliant maths lesson today. I now understand the way my 8 year old is being taught maths. Olivia is loving the 9 times table trick she was even doing it in bed tonight!"
...."A big thank you to Sue Comber, it was great to be shown how my little monkeys, are now taught Maths, a really informative, basic introduction for mums with infants or juniors. It was really worth it. It's great to finally grasp the methods that the kids are learning and to also see how that will go forwards up to year 6 and beyond."
