Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly should I submit for the 10 Lines assessment?

You can submit approximately 10 lines (100-150 words) of your child’s creative writing. This can be from a school assignment, homework, practice piece, or something they write specifically for this assessment. The writing should be their own work, without adult help, to give us an accurate picture of their current ability.

How quickly will I receive feedback on my child’s writing?

We aim to provide detailed feedback within 48 hours of submission. You’ll receive an email with a comprehensive assessment of your child’s writing, highlighting strengths, areas for improvement, and specific next steps.

Is 10 lines really enough to assess my child’s writing ability?y child’s writing?

Yes! Our experienced 11+ specialists can identify key strengths and weaknesses from just 10 lines of writing. While a longer piece would show more aspects of their writing, 10 lines is sufficient to highlight the most important areas for improvement and give you a clear picture of where your child stands compared to the expected standard.

How is this different from feedback from my child’s school teacher?

School teachers provide valuable feedback, but they’re often focused on National Curriculum standards rather than the specific requirements of 11+ exams. Our assessment is based on the exact criteria used by grammar and independent schools in their entrance exams, giving you insight into what these schools are specifically looking for.

Which schools will this assessment help my child prepare for?

Our assessment is designed to help children preparing for grammar and independent schools that include creative writing in their entrance exams. This includes schools like St. Olave’s Grammar School, Henrietta Barnett, Sutton Grammar School, Wallington County Grammar School, Wilson’s School, Trinity School, James Allen Girls, Alleyn’s, and Sevenoaks School, among many others.
