Welcome!

This page is dedicated to BJS parents and particularly pupils, who are preparing for the 11 plus.  You will be hearing about this at school on 23rd September at 4:30pm. 

We are giving away our BOFA 11+ Mix to all 48 pupils, which includes our first tests in each of the four subject at no cost. The school will be able to monitor your child's progress and offer support.  At this stage can I explain that BOFA is designed to make the 11 plus preparation as stress free as possible.  We suggest that you allow the children to do the tests whenever they wish since you will be emailed as soon as they have finished with the result (read and check email Notifications), which means that you can go to them to say "well done, good effort, etc" and have prior knowledge of the score ensuring that you can talk to them in a positive manner irrespective of their score.  (The first score is often low as they are just getting used to the system, concept of the exam, stress, anxiety, etc.)

If you then find BOFA useful we recommend doing one of the following:

• Send a payment to school for £30 and we will add all the BOFA products to your account which we call BOFA 11+ school 24/7

• go to the BOFA shop and order the 4 core products

       

Before you do anything do try out the demos which are short versions of the products, please follow the instructions carefully so that you get to see the learning process including the reports which are included in the school 24/7 product but normally have to be purchased separately.
