Destination Schools & 11+

PATHWAY TO SENIOR SCHOOL

Academic excellence

As one of the leading prep schools in London, academic excellence is a given at Prospect House. We offer our children an exceptional education, tailored to them. Our teachers encourage our children to be independent thinkers, both inside and out of the classroom. While we are non-selective, we find the best in each child, helping them to develop their own unique talents.

As a result, our children continue their education at the UK’s best day and boarding schools. While our Leavers’ Destination list tells its own story, we are also proud of our record in securing a range of scholarships including academic, all-rounder, sport and music.

THE 11+ PROCESS

Getting the recognition you deserve

Our approach to continuous learning and high standards is one of the reasons our children achieve such excellent 11+ results.

Children are prepared extremely well, from practice tests and interviews, how to sit an exam effectively maximising marks. We ensure that the children are fully prepared to sit the exams at their chosen schools.

We support them throughout this process to remove any levels of anxiety that the children might be feeling.

In the autumn term of Year 5 the headteacher holds group meetings for parents to run through the processes leading up to 11+ examinations, how we support the children through this process, timings and school choices.

In the spring term of Year 5 the parents will have a 1:1 meeting with the headteacher where they will discuss their child’s progress, assessment scores and school choices. Prior to this meeting the headteacher meets all the teachers to discuss, in detail, each child’s progress.

We are very aware that this could be a challenging time for children and parents and understand the importance of working together so that every child fulfils their potential. We aim to make the 11+ process as smooth and enjoyable for the children as possible – it should be a time to celebrate their achievements and the progress they have made during their time at Prospect House School.

Together we’re extraordinary

Prospect House is part of the Dukes Education family of schools and educators, brought together by a common purpose: to give children the foundations for an extraordinary life.

We create clusters of nurseries and schools in village locations to ensure that families can enjoy the option of an all-through education journey with Dukes Education within their local area.

Continuity and Confidence

As students prepare to transition from prep school to senior school at Year 7, our guaranteed entry policy offers a seamless progression within the Dukes family of senior schools, subject only to the availability of a place and a child’s ability to thrive in the ethos and curriculum, and without the need to sit traditional school entrance exams such as the 11+.

Guaranteed Placement, Tailored Support

Dukes Education supports each child’s journey to senior school, working with families to find the right school; one that matches their unique strengths and aspirations.

Our commitment to providing a guaranteed place at a Dukes Education senior school allows students to focus on their personal and academic development instead of spending precious time preparing for school entrance exams and the added pressure that entails.

For families applying to selective senior schools, our prep schools provide thorough guidance, tailored 11+ exam preparation and exceptional pastoral support to ensure that every student is ready to perform at their best.

This approach ensures a confident and smooth transition to senior school for all children, nurturing lifelong learners within the supportive framework of Dukes Education.

Early acceptance

If a family decides their child will not sit the 11+ entrance test, we are usually able to confirm acceptance to a Dukes senior school in Year 5. Early acceptance offers families peace of mind, allowing children to enjoy their final years at prep school and focus on a positive transition to senior school.
