For all students receiving their 11+ results tomorrow, we would like to wish you the very best of luck. 🤞🏼 ✨
School places are highly competitive and every student should be incredibly proud of the effort they have put into their senior school assessments. The commitment, preparation and resilience demonstrated throughout the 11+ process are significant achievements in themselves.
We sincerely hope you receive the news you are hoping for. However, we would like to reiterate that no student is defined by the schools from which they receive offers. There are many pathways to success and finding the right environment for each child is what truly matters.
If you would like support or guidance with your 11+ applications, our team would be delighted to assist.
📚✨ Only 20 days to go until the launch of our brand new Bonas Book Clubs - with just a few spaces left!
An enjoyable way for pupils to read more widely, think critically and stay academically engaged. Meeting monthly in small groups with a Bonas MacFarlane subject specialist, students analyse, debate, and share their ideas - building confidence and skills for long-term academic success.
📩 Get in touch for more information, we’d love to welcome your teen.
Happy New Year, Happy New Year 🥂
May we all have a vision now and then,
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend 🤍
Happy New Year, Happy New Year✨

Is the 11-Plus making your child stupid?
An extract from (5th December 2025) features Charles Bonas discussing how traditional entrance exams risk turning children into “bots” by rewarding only narrow cognitive strengths and excluding creative or visual thinkers. 💭
He argues for more holistic admissions, where schools meet pupils, review their classwork and speak to teachers.
