Newstead Wood School is proud to be open to pupils from all backgrounds.
To encourage even greater representation of children at Newstead Wood, we work in partnership with Atom Learning, the leading online Key Stage 2 learning and 11+ preparation platform, to provide students who are eligible for Pupil Premium (both boys and girls) with free online learning and 11+ exam preparation.
This programme is designed to help children get familiar with the type of questions they may see on the 11+, and build exam technique and confidence. They'll be able to access KS2 and 11+ practice questions, learning resources, and practice papers through their Atom Home account.
If your child has been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, please fill in the form by clicking the button below. They will be given free access to Atom Home when their Pupil Premium status has been verified by their primary school.
We are also pleased to offer access to an additional online package of around 10-hours familiarisation material, that has been developed by the Grammar School Heads Association, especially for Pupil Premium students. If you indicate Pupil Premium on the application form, once we have verified this, we will send you a logon code, so you can access the material on the online platform hosted by Frog Education.
Each year our Parents' Association hold a number of familarisation sessions to enable prospective applicants to have an experience of sitting a selection test under exam conditions in an unfamiliar environment. There are a number of free places for Pupil Premium students to sit these tests. Details can be found here.
