The harsh truth about the 4+ at The Hall that most of you would prefer not to hear.

60 boys are admitted into Reception at The Hall each year.

A large amount of children compared to other schools at 4+ you might be thinking.

Perhaps this will put you at ease.

It shouldn’t.

Competition to get into The Hall is fierce. Although this will be downplayed by both the school and others telling you about this assessment. Do not let this confuse you.

With parents registering their children to sit their 4+ Assessment at birth, I can see why they are so over subscribed. The Hall encourages parents to register their sons at the very latest before their son’s second birthdays. Registration fee to register your child to attend the 4+ assessment at The Hall is £180.

The Hall refer to their Assessments as ‘playdates’. They absolutely are not playdates.

In their Admissions policy they write…

The Hall has a selective admissions procedure, and the school needs to be confident that a boy will be able to benefit from the wide and fast-moving curriculum.

This makes it very clear to me what type of boy they are looking for in the 4+ Assessment.

Is it clear to you?

Please note that there are no other major intakes to this school but if your heart is set on sending your son here, you may register for an occasional place which does come up occasionally and needs thorough preparation.

We have personally prepared many boys to be very successful for Occasional Places at The Hall too! And they are currently studying there right now.

The Hall has one round at 4+. It is a very challenging Assessment and the only boys that I’ve ever known who have passed have been thoroughly prepared.

I prepared a little boy for the Hall last year. His mother signed up for one of my packages in November (his Assessment to the Hall was in January). Her son was nowhere near ready for this Assessment and I told her as much. She insisted we only meet weekly. He did not pass and she was shocked. I wasn’t.

You want your son to go to the Hall?

So do hundreds and hundreds of other parents. Prepare your son and prepare him well. If you don’t, I wouldn’t even bother sending him in. And I also wouldn’t be surprised, devastated, shocked or upset if he doesn’t pass.
