The Habs' Boys' 4+ Assessment Report (2026 entry)

We prepared 9 boys for their 4+ at Habs. I’m still waiting to hear from one of my clients so I won’t count them in my results for now. (2026 entry). They all had between 1 -18 months of 4+ Assessment preparation.

My recommendation is at least 12 months of 4+ assessment preparation for Habs’ Boys’ School.

3 Key Reasons for Success

Boys who perform highly across the board (in all 7 areas of the EYFS curriculum) and thorough prep for both rounds.

Regular communication between parents and teacher during the week between the lessons, parents taking on board feedback and putting it into place during the weeks.

Consistent daily activity - Boys completing all of the home learning sent every single day in preparation for this assessment (or as close to this as possible!).

3 Key Reasons for Not Being Successful

All of our boys have passed so far (that I have heard from!) but do not take this to mean that passing the 4+ assessment at Habs’ Boys’ School is ‘easy’. Far from it. it is really not an ‘easy’ assessment to pass. So do get that thought out of your heads. I have already spoken to a handful of parents whose sons have not passed this 4+ assessment. The boys who have not passed were:

Not thoroughly prepared in the 7 areas of the EYFS curriculum.

Not able to answer questions at the level expected from the school

Boys who needed to further develop their communication and language skills.

It is important to note that all of our boys’ parents put in hours of dedicated focused learning with their sons over the course of their time preparing them for this assessment. They worked hard. They dedicated their time and attention to their sons. They persevered when it got hard (It got hard countless times!). They trusted in the learning process and despite a lot of negativity from their nurseries/friends/families, they continued. I admire their dedication. They are my ideal clients. They are the clients we want to be working with.

Habs’ Boys’ is a highly competitive school at 4+ and we are delighted to have supported 9 gorgeous boys this year to be more than ready for this school. Will all 9 go to Habs’ Boys’ School? Let’s wait and see shall we?
