What Will Come Up In The 4+ at The Hall?

I’m sure there will be lots of ‘well informed’ people who can give you a list of 30-40 bullet points of things that will come up in the 4+ assessment at The Hall.

 So what if you are given this information?

 Is it truly helpful?

 No, not really.

 You see, someone can tell you that puzzles will come up. Ok, so what?

Does this information sheet that they’ve handed you also tell you about what the assessors are even looking for when they are assessing puzzles? Probably not.

 Someone can tell you that your child will be asked to draw something? Ok, so what?

 To what quality and standard will your child have to draw? How does what they draw compare to other boys also attending The Hall 4+ assessment? How will they be expected to hold their pencil? What will the expectations of colouring be?

 Someone can tell you that your child will have a story read to them. Ok, so what?

 What will be the expectation of your son during that story time? How will he be expected to answer questions? How do the other boys also going to The Hall answer questions?

 Comparatively, where does your son stand?

 Can that little sheet give you all of the answers to those questions.

 I highly doubt it.

 So you can be very well ‘informed’ about what will come up at The Hall for your son’s 4+ assessment but it’s not as important as knowing how your child will need to complete the activities. That is what is important.

 And if you don’t know – work with teacher who does and who can support you every step of the way to have tremendous success with this school.

Asking me what will come up in The Hall 4+ assessment shows me that you have not prepared your son to the best possible standard. Because if you had, you would know exactly what will come up in the assessment. You will have been preparing for it for the last 12 months with a curriculum fully tailored to exactly what will be coming up.

Change the quality of your questions. What will come up really doesn’t matter. Our boys are so well prepared for their 4+ assessments at The Hall that they will be able to handle whatever comes up and more!

Join our 4+ Success Programme for The Hall and take your son’s learning to the next level and give him the highest chances for success in his 4+ Assessment in January. I’ve opened only 3 places and I will be closing it once full.
