The 4+ assessment is an entry assessment used by many top independent schools for admission into Reception.
Unlike traditional exams, the 4+ assessment typically focuses on evaluating a child’s developmental readiness, including:
Early numeracy skills
Spatial awareness
Logical thinking
Communication and interaction
Focus and concentration
Schools are not only assessing academic ability but also observing how children approach problem-solving and new challenges.
Early exposure to structured learning activities can help children feel more confident and comfortable during the assessment process.
Our Free 4+ Assessment session provides parents with valuable insight into their child’s learning progress.
During the evaluation, our experienced educators will:
✔ Assess your child’s early numeracy and thinking skills
✔ Observe focus, reasoning and problem-solving ability
✔ Identify strengths and areas for development
✔ Provide personalised recommendations for further learning
This personalised feedback helps parents better understand how to support their child’s development during these important early years.
