A great little planner for 11+ students

What a great little planner to help students going through the 11+ or other exams. Full of pages for self reflection as well as tasks, mindfulness tips and some 11+ tips (such as daily words to discover)
Written by an 11+ parent who has not only been there and done that, but also set up a group to help others through this time too! It also has inputs from myself – a tutor who now takes students through 11+ preparation. Delighted to have contributed to it and to help more children who will take the 11+ exams.

Food for thought and conversation

This book serves as a good reminder to families to look after a child’s mental health during the stressful 11+ journey.
The book contains prompts to be positive and set intentions, which provide a great opportunity for parents to have constructive conversations with their child and to encourage them to do something other than study at home.
