I have great knowledge and experience with teaching the Wandsworth Test. For 4 consecutive years I have prepared my own class, administered the actual test, ran a Wandsworth Test library at school and have taught many Wandsworth Test clubs.

There will be two other qualified teachers there to support the children – in groups and individually where needed.

I cannot emphasize enough and it is difficult for me to say as a believer in the state system, but if you want your kid to get into a grammar or Graveney you will need to pay for a term or two of maths tutoring.
Your state primary will not have covered enough of the curriculum for your child to be able to respond correctly to sufficient questions to get the necessary scores.

What?! Graveney used the results of the Wandsworth test to offer selective places and the test is only verbal and non verbal reasoning. How would Maths tutoring help you get in?
