The research we use

What we don't claim
We don't sort children into visual, auditory or hands-on types: the Education Endowment Foundation finds no good evidence that teaching to a preferred style helps. We don't promise 11+ results. Practice builds what a child knows and their confidence with the format; it can't promise a place.
