Do children ‘naturally’ have the skills that these top schools are looking for?

No. 

Parents will often call or message me and tell me that their children will ‘naturally develop’ with time. That children will ‘naturally evolve and grow’ with age. 

It does not work that way. 

Natural ability does not exist. 

If a child is ‘able’ it is because they have put in the work. They have dedicated hours and hours of their time to be able to do the thing that they are able to do. 

Do you think that an amazing pianist is just ‘naturally able’? 

Perhaps they will tell you that they are. 

They are not. 

What they are able to do is put in the work, effort and dedication needed in order to become an able pianist. There is nothing ‘natural’ about it. They showed up every day. Day in and day out. They sat at that piano and they focused. They learned how to read the notes and they learned how to use their hands to play beautiful music on that piano. 

Do you think an amazing gymnast is ‘just naturally able and gifted’? What a load of nonsense. 

You know for a fact that they dedicated their life to being able to do those incredible amazing moves that they are able to do. 

To be offered a place at a top, elite school like Westminster, St. Paul’s, Notting Hill and Ealing and South Hampstead, you’d better believe me and understand carefully how much hard work and effort goes into securing that offer. 

Most of you want to believe that 3 year olds go into a school like Westminster, have a little play and that they will just be offered a place. Delusional! Does not work like that!
