Prepare for The Guildford High 4+ with ease and calm using these 3 simple (not easy) steps.

The first thing GHS tell you about the 4+ is that they don’t expect their girls to read and write - up to you what you make of this!

Our girls who pass their 4+ Assessments at Guildford High at 4+ go in knowing exactly how to read and write! Oh and by the way, they have historically always been asked to read and write! To add - who cares if a school says this or not? Why would you not want to teach your child how to read and write?

GHS will be ‘assessing your daughter’s readiness to learn.’

Don’t over think this. ‘Readiness to learn’ simply means how ‘ready your child is to learn!’ Basically= ‘How easy your daughter will be to teach”.

Very, very simple.

And GHS assess this over two 45 minute assessments!

They say that they look at language, number, manipulative and general cognitive skills and social interaction.

This is a very early 4+ Assessment that it takes place in October! So I do hope that you’ve been preparing thoroughly for this one! This year, it is happening this week! Thursday 8th October and Saturday 10th of October 2026!

So how can you prepare for Guildford High with ease and calm using these 3 simple (not easy) steps?

Step 1

Start at least 12 months in advance with a bespoke, tailored programme of study that will give your daughter the highest possible chances for success at Guildford High School. As we now run a term time model, you would need to start preparing for GHS 4 terms before the October that your daughter would need to attend this assessment! You can work that out! If you’re starting a little bit later than this - who cares? Just start!

Step 2

Ensure your daughter knows all of her phase 2 and phase 3 phonics and knows how to blend. Cover a broad and vast maths curriculum and cover all 7 areas of the EYFS curriculum at depth.

Step 3

Prepare your daughter to be able to go in calmly and demonstrate maturity.
