4+ Group Assessments

About the 4+

Our 4+ Group Assessments are designed to provide families preparing for the 4+ admissions process with relevant experience prior to the school assessment sessions.

At our offices based in Fulham, London, we seek to replicate the experience to ensure families are aware of the success criteria and focus for the school assessment days.

It can be a daunting experience so familiarity with the process, typical activities and expectations is useful preparation for schools that require assessments including but not limited to Alleyn's, Bute House, Garden House, Highgate, and Dulwich College Prep.

Our Early Years Expert will provide an objective and reflective view that is of use to parents through verbal feedback at the end of the session and a detailed written report. The report will include a summary of the session and how your child responded to the activities in accordance the admissions criteria used by many schools that require assessment.

Session Logistics

Our Early Years Expert will be running sessions for up to ten children per session at our Ivy Education Offices in Fulham (126 New Kings Road, SW6 4LZ).

The session will take place on August the 17th, 2025 between 09:00 - 11:30 AM, or in an afternoon session if spaces are filled for the morning, which we will confirm closer to the event date. During the sessions, the expert will be supported by a member of the Ivy team. Parents are welcome to wait in the ground floor café area while the sessions are taking place.

Once you have booked, you will receive detailed instructions for the day, including directions and parking, as well as a confirmed 1-2-1 feedback session slot from our Early Years Expert.

After your in-person 1-2-1 feedback session, you will be given a detailed written feedback report, sent within 5 working days of the session.
