Hello, just wanted to recommend Gill's 11+ prep course that she runs during the October half term. If the format is the same as when my daughter did it, the course runs Monday to Thursday, with a set of practice tests on the Monday under exam conditions; then Tues and Wed are spent going over the papers and revising topics as needed. She's a very experienced and calm teacher, and she talks through things like time management and the importance of identifying and tackling the high value questions, stuff like that. On the Thursday they do another set of mock tests. At the end, Gill gives the parent a breakdown of the child's scores for both the Monday and the Thursday tests, and you should see that there's been an improvement. She'll also tell you which areas the child should focus on during the remaining time before January. My child did the course and found it very helpful, and came away feeling very calm and prepared. I've recommended Gill to many friends in ED: she's been tutoring and doing 11+ prep for a long time and she really knows what she's doing. Good luck!

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
