At Saint Pierre parents make the ultimate decision, with support from the school, whether or not to enter their child. Preparation for 11 Plus starts in year 3 but goes into full force in Year 5 with focused lessons in Mathematics, English, and non-verbal reasoning. Eleven plus candidates have extended homework and testing as well as optional membership of the after school 11 Plus Clubs (one for Maths, one for English).
