Foreword
28830.jpgThis book is a heartwarming and funny tale. It documents the trials and tribulations of securing a place at a grammar (secondary) school through the 11+ system. Nonnie’s concerns have been echoed by many parents during my teaching career, and this book will let you know that you are not alone.
Surviving the 11+ breaks down the jargon involved in the grammar school application, and it offers great practical advice to any parent venturing into that world. Take this as your survival guide.
