The real 11+ exams do not take place online and will not be sat at home. We are passionate about giving every 11+ candidate the opportunity to practice for their real 11+ exams in a realistic exam hall/room environment, while taking all the necessary precautions to keep the children and staff safe when attending SDE.
- All Sessions were ‘converted’ to our Covid-19 Secure Small Group Socially Distanced 11+ Mock Exams format (with special hygiene measures, no more than 15 students per bubble and at least 2 metres separation between candidates when seated in the Exam Hall);
- Nearly 500 Sessions were organised by SDE, giving those already booked with SDE at March 2020 the opportunity to attend all of their SDE 11+ Mock Exams in a Covid-19 secure format for no additional cost; and
- Parents were also given the option to obtain a full refund, with the vast majority of refunds being credited to the customer payment card by SDE within 1-2 business days.
While we hope for a ‘return to normality’, we are resigned to the fact that some special measures are likely to be necessary. The exact arrangements will depend on the circumstances nearer to the time and the then DfE Government Guidance as it applies to Out of School Settings like those operated by SDE.
