The Froebelian School Horsforth is once again celebrating the success of its Year 6 children. Each and every pupil has worked with incredible focus and determination to achieve excellence in the 11+ Entrance Exams.

Mock exam season has arrived and the results of these are more important than ever before.

Mock exams are also excellent practise runs ahead of the upcoming exam period.
