Contradictory views about the Habs' Boys' 4+ Assessment.

/

All of our boys have now attended their Habs’ Boys’ 4+ Assessment and we excitedly await results this Friday (19th December 2025).

There are a lot of contradictory views to mine about the Habs’ Boys’ 4+ assessment and I wanted to truly shine a light on some of these so that if you are preparing your son for his assessment for Habs’ Boys’ for 2027 and beyond that you are laser sharp aware of what will actually be expected of your son and how to really prepare him to the best of your ability.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to this very, very popular boys’ school.

  1. Thorough preparation is needed.

  2. Just send my boy in to play (after all it is a play based assessment)

Interesting then that in this play based assessment our boys were asked to do the following (obviously I’m not giving you a full list but just a flavour for you):

  • Counting and identifying numbers to 20

  • Drawing

  • Geometry

  • Writing

  • Lego

  • Reading

  • Listening

  • Vocabulary

  • Drawing

  • Phonics

So, you decide if you want to ‘send your boy in to play’ and let me know if he is able to do all of the above (which is a fraction of what came up).
