3 Things to Stop Doing If You Want Your Daughter to Pass the NLCS 4+ Assessment.
/Every single year I speak to disappointed and confused parents whose daughters were unable to pass the 4+ Assessment at NLCS.
It’s not their fault, they didn’t know how hard passing this assessment would be.
They assumed that their daughter would just go in and show NLCS how amazing she is and be offered a place.
We all think our children are amazing. It just doesn’t work that way.
They assumed that merely sending their daughter to a ‘great’ nursery or pre-school would be enough. Enough? That truthfully doesn’t even scratch the surface.
In order to pass the 4+ Assessment at NLCS, here are 3 things to stop doing.
1. Putting off starting 4+ Assessment preparation.
12 full months is what you need of carefully tailored and bespoke 4+ assessment preparation and curriculum acceleration. My recommendation to all of our clients is 4 full terms of 4+ assessment preparation.
2. Working with teachers who have no experience with the 4+ assessment at NLCS.
So many parents I speak to want to save money when it comes to the preparation of the the 4+ assessments. Doesn’t make sense to me. You want to send your child to a 30k+ per year school.
Invest the right amount to actually preparing her for it. A teacher with no experience in the 4+ assessment will not be able to help you as much as a teacher with over 2 decades of experience preparing girls for this school.
3. Not understanding how complex and difficult this 4+ assessment really is.
Again, I don’t blame you if this is you.
But it really is very simple. 500+ applicants. 40 places. Competition is fierce. And with their GCSE and A level results only getting better and better each year, competition will only become fiercer.
Prepare your daughter and prepare her well.
Support her to accelerate her learning in the 12 months you have before this assessment.
We all think our children are amazing. And of course, they all are amazing. But all 500+ will not be offered a place following their 4+ assessment at NLCS.
