Our Book

Secondary School selection has never been so complex. The range of state schools – academies, faith schools, voluntary-aided, free schools, etc. has never been greater.  On top of that competition for places at academically selective places at state grammar and independent schools is at an all-time high.

This book is a groundbreaking, step-by-step guide to help parents navigate the maze of choices and builds on Anita Hill’s extensive experience of tutoring and preparing children for secondary school places.  Supported by articles written by parents, head teachers and inspectors, issues such as ‘how to choose a school’, single sex or co-ed, state or private, bursaries, scholarships and recognising a learning difficulty are covered objectively and sensitively.  Children’s development, emotional and spiritual well-being are recognised and a whole section is devoted to help parents keep it in perspective!
