Comments on the Eleven Plus

Some parents may feel a strong urge, at this stage of the year, to re-organise their families. This could include taking the dog for a pamper and wash before the snow starts falling, trying to find a new type of cat food for the much loved, buying yet another new pair of shoes for school, trying to find different types of eleven plus papers and contemplating a visit or two to the gym.

Please read each question carefully. Each question should be answered by placing a star (*) in the appropriate box. A star should be placed in the Undecided box if you are undecided what answer to give to the question.
