Welcome to Meta Prep, where metacognition comes first
Every school has different admissions criteria and this makes the final months a challenge for parents and pupils alike. In Year 6, the focus is on specific school requirements and specialist papers to ensure that each child is fully equipped and prepared for 11+ success. We create a bespoke plan for the final crucial months leading up to the 11+ exams to ensure success. All pupils in Year 6 have access to our digital platform and can arrange 1:1 sessions with a cognitive coach.
Our central focus at Meta Prep, it’s even in our name, is about underpinning learning with a repertoire of cognitive (thinking) tools and strategies. Equipping children with the capacity to understanding themselves, reflect on their own learning and know how to make progress; whatever challenge they are set. This results in significant additional progress to previously predicted grades and develops a lifelong love of learning that enables children to thrive in the exams, their secondary schools and beyond. A significant focus on developing the underlying Thinking Processes for the Cognitive Ability Tests is inherent at Meta Prep.
