Sixth-form School Entry and the 16 Plus Exam
Enrolling your child in a new school for the final two years of their secondary education can be a big change, at a critical time in their pathway toward university. It can also be an enormous opportunity as well, if your child gains a place at a school that is a better fit for their needs and goals.
Should my child take A Levels or the IB?
When it comes to deciding on the best educational path for students post GCSE, the choice between A Levels and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is a topic of debate for many families. Both qualifications offer unique approaches to learning and present opportunities for children to excel academically at school and beyond.
Keystone has over a decade of experience providing tuition to families who wish to send their children to leading UK independent schools for their sixth form studies.
Our team of 51 full-time tutors are highly experienced in guiding students through their preparation for the 16 plus exam. They ensure there are no gaps in a student’s understanding of key topics in Maths, and utilize past papers and detailed feedback extensively. Our tutors are able to tailor their tuition to your child’s specific needs so that they can truly show their potential in the 16 plus.
16 plus exams are not standardized, and our tutors will be familiar with the particular format of the 16 plus at the schools your child intends to apply to. The bespoke support they can provide will help your child maximise their performance during these challenging and competitive exams.
Our tutors are also familiar with the issues of preparing for a 16 plus Maths exam while also preparing for GCSE or IGCSE exams simultaneously and can ensure your child manages their revision and preparation planning accordingly.
We have extensive experience in helping students prepare for interviews as part of the 16 plus exam, ensuring that they can demonstrate their interest in and passion for the subjects they intend to study.
