5 Benefits Of
11 Plus Mock
Exams
Taking the 11+ examination can
be a daunting prospect for
children as well as parents who
naturally want the very best
education for their children.
We understand this and are
able to offer the opportunity to
expose your child to authentic
examination conditions but in
a supportive and encouraging
environment. Our examination
papers are updated to reflect
the recent changes to the 11
plus exams and we send results
via email on the day following
each 11 plus mock exam. The
report identifies strengths and
weaknesses, so that we can
target the areas which need
attention. Our mock exams can
also be used to independently
monitor your child’s progress.
We can help your child build
confidence under examination
conditions and overcome
nerves, develop effective
examination techniques
and become familiar with
the format of the CEM 11
Plus used in Birmingham,
Walsall, Warwickshire &
Wolverhampton. Book online at:

Nursery at Warwick Prep
For most children, life at Warwick
Prep begins in our warm, welcoming
and secure Nursery.
A dedicated Early Years team help each child to feel
happy, confident and able to achieve as they take their
first tentative steps into the exciting world of learning. By
providing a carefully balanced programme of structured
activities, alongside learning through discovery and play,
the children grow in confidence while developing core
skills and independence.
The children follow the EYFS curriculum and move from
room to room throughout the day as they carry out
different activities. Fun topic based events are planned
with Reception, thus allowing for a smooth transition as the
children move into school.
The curriculum is enriched by outdoor trips for example,
visiting Warwick School to celebrate Chinese New Year
and a local study project at Hill Close Gardens where
the children develop curiosity and learn about the world
around them as they explore all their senses. Educational
visitors are warmly invited into the Nursery, often providing
inspiration for innovative music and movement events in
the School Hall to which parents are invited.
Drop-off is available free of charge from 7:45am with an
After School Club that runs until 5:45pm.
Excellent Facilities
Our purpose-built building has three quiet rooms and a
large playroom for role and imaginative play. The craft
room is well resourced for those fun, messy activities! We
also have computers and interactive whiteboards, and
finally a large, secure outdoor play space just for Nursery.
The children make use of the School’s facilities including
the Library, Music rooms for their specialist Music lessons,
Dining room, Bridge House Sports Centre and the Astro
Turf for PE and School Hall.
We also hold a weekly activity group for children due to
start Nursery the following September, called Nutkins.
This provides a gentle introduction to school life for both
children and parents in a relaxed atmosphere.
