Posted: 8th October 2026

Year 6 parents recently joined an informative virtual workshop led by Mr Trigwell, Sports Psychology and Performance Lead, focused on how best to support children through the 11+ examination process.

The session explored practical strategies for managing exam-related anxiety and helping pupils approach assessments with confidence. Parents also learned more about the mentoring work taking place with the boys during weekly sessions in School, which helps them develop effective coping strategies and a positive mindset.

The evening concluded with a valuable question-and-answer session, highlighting the importance of a strong partnership between home and School in supporting pupils’ well-being as they navigate this important stage of their educational journey.
