Mall School pupils celebrate fantastic set of 11+ results

Year 6 pupils at The Mall School in Twickenham are celebrating a fantastic set of 11+ results.  Over 80% of pupils received at least two senior school/grammar school offers with more than half of pupils offered places at three or more schools. 25% of pupils sitting independent senior school exams have been awarded academic, music or sports scholarships from 12 schools including: City of London, Epsom College, Halliford, Hampton, King’s College School Wimbledon, Reed’s School and St James School.

The Mall is a non-selective school for children who join in Reception. Pupils make exceptional progress during their time at the school and nearly half of Year 6 pupils who joined the school at age 4 have been offered places at highly academically selective schools.

As an independent prep school, The Mall has no affiliation to specific senior schools so pupils can continue to a wide range of destinations suited not only to their academic profile but also offering opportunities for them to further develop skills and interests they have enjoyed at The Mall and discover new ones. Year 6 pupils received offers from 24 independent senior schools and 4 state grammar schools.  They will take up places at 15 different schools.

Parents value the support and guidance they and their children receive from the school throughout the 11+ process. This starts in Year 4 with an initial meeting with parents and and pupils having dedicated verbal and non-verbal reasoning lessons and continues throughout Years 5 and 6 with regular follow-up meetings as required and lots of opportunities for interview practice. Parents’ comments include:

“Choosing between the school offers has been a very difficult decision for us as we felt that all the schools that our child got offers from, are excellent. We consulted the Headmaster several times and his guidance made it much easier for us to make the final decision.”

“We’re extremely proud of our child’s 11+ successes, and while choosing between several high-calibre senior schools was challenging, The Mall provided ample guidance to make an informed decision. This went beyond academics, assisting us in considering our child’s overall fit to each school in terms of both personal and academic development.”

“The teachers helped prepare our son very well for the exams and interview process, and with no additional tutoring, he achieved an academic scholarship at his new senior school.”

Headmaster, David Price, said: “I am extremely proud of Year 6. They have worked extremely hard, supported by their teachers and parents and have been rewarded with an exceptional number of offers and awards from 28 selective schools – the largest number since we moved to the 11+ model in 2019. Academic success really is only part of the story behind these results, however, as our pupils will have had to demonstrate to independent senior schools that they are able to contribute to wider school life with passions, interests and skills in pursuits outside of the classroom. The broad curriculum we offer at The Mall, with commitment to competitive sports, musical and drama performances for all and exposure to many after school clubs run by professionals in their fields has given Year 6 a rich educational experience and their chosen schools are very lucky to have them joining them in September.”
