up to prepare the children for the eleven plus selection procedure
to grammar schools and entrance and scholarship exams to other
Independent schools.
The attitude of the pupils is excellent, showing high levels of
enthusiasm, interest and confidence. The teachers are also
deserving of praise for the way they teach their pupils, not to
