The success of the preparation for a smooth transition to senior school at Parsons Green Prep (PGP) is measured by three criteria. These are the transition to the school of choice by the family, the number and range of offers of places from a recommended maximum of five applications per pupil and, most crucially, feedback from PGP pupils that they are happy and embracing all that their chosen senior school provides throughout Year 7 and into later years.
The school’s robust and tailored curriculum provides a strong foundation of knowledge, key skills and the content to successfully access any selective 11+ examination. The inclusivity of provision, personalised learning ethos and breadth of co-curricular provision fosters in our pupils a love of learning, higher-order thinking, self-confidence and the life skills to happily navigate and meet the expectations of the breadth of admissions criteria, including the interview process.
An 11+ handbook, prepared annually for our parents, supports parents’ navigation of the senior school transition process, which is inclusive of one-to-one meetings with the Head and senior team, invitations to 11+ curriculum information events, the annual PGP Senior Schools Fair, familiarity with online adaptive assessments from Year 2 and personalised planning for each child in consultation with their parents. For those seeking a 13+ boarding placement, our Head, Dr Edmonds, offers guidance as to the many options to secure a successful transition.
