Assessing your child's needs:
Your child’s tutor will work with them for forty minutes in a friendly, fun, informal way to ascertain their reading age, Maths level and English level.
During the assessment, they will have the opportunity to chat to the tutor and gain confidence and a sense of belonging at the centre.
On your return, the tutor will give you a full written report as well as spending twenty minutes talking to you about your child's individual education plan. Your child will then receive a gift and an appropriate Maths book so we can get them started and nurture their enthusiasm immediately.
Feedback:
We give honest feedback and a full written report. Our aim is for happy, well-educated students and this can only be achieved if we are honest and work together. Your tutor will discuss your child’s current needs and listen carefully to any information you give us which will help us teach your child.
We want to work with you to help support and educate your child. We understand that you are the most important influence in your child’s life and we appreciate that your support at home is key to their success.
Price of assessment and enrolment:
The assessment and enrolment sessions are £42 to book. Please call the office on 01206 827495 to book your child's assessment or use the booking portal here: https://jacquirobinsoneducation.co.uk/products/assessment-and-enrolment-session
How will the assessment work?
This is a friendly, informal assessment - not a pass or fail exam. Assessments last one hour – you bring your child, look around our bright and friendly teaching rooms and when you are happy, you leave your child with their tutor for forty minutes.
After chatting with the teacher, your child will be asked to write about their family. They will be given a reading age test and be assessed in Maths. After forty minutes, you return to a very happy and comfortable child.
You then receive a fully written report and spend twenty minutes with your tutor, who will explain the report and how to move forward. During this time, your child will show you how well they have done and then work on a given task.
You will be offered a variety of appropriate times and days so that you can choose a time that suits you and your child's needs so that you can start classes the following week.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are our CSSE 11+ mock exams?
Our CSSE 11+ mock exams are designed to give children realistic experience of sitting the Essex 11+ examination. The mocks follow the CSSE-style English and Maths format and are conducted under timed examination conditions, giving children the opportunity to practise working under the same type of pressure they will experience in the real examination.
Who can sit the CSSE 11+ mock exams?
Our mock exams are open to Year 4 and Year 5 pupils preparing for the Essex CSSE 11+ examination. Children do not need to attend Jacqui Robinson Education Centre to take part — visiting students are very welcome.
Where are the mock exams held?
Our large mock examinations are held in an external examination hall at Marks Tey Parish Hall. Using a large examination venue allows children to experience a realistic environment, including unfamiliar surroundings, formal seating arrangements and the atmosphere of sitting an examination alongside a large number of other pupils.
What happens during the mock exam?
Children are registered and seated before completing their English and Maths papers under timed examination conditions. Our aim is to make the experience as realistic as possible while ensuring children are supported and know what to expect throughout the process.
Why is it useful for my child to sit a mock exam?
A mock exam gives your child the opportunity to experience the examination environment before the real CSSE. It can help them develop confidence, improve time management and understand how they perform when working under timed conditions.
It can also highlight areas where further preparation is needed, allowing you to address these before the real examination.
What will I receive after the mock exam?
You will receive your child's completed papers and mark schemes, together with a detailed written report showing their performance and position against their peers.
We also send you online teaching videos and targeted practice worksheets based on areas where your child needs further development. This means the mock doesn't simply give you a score, it gives you practical information about what your child should work on next.
How soon will I receive my child's results?
We aim to provide your child's results, report and supporting materials within 7 days of the mock examination.
Should my child sit more than one mock exam?
Sitting more than one mock can be very beneficial. The first mock can help your child become familiar with the examination environment and identify areas for improvement. A later mock then provides an opportunity to see whether their confidence, technique and performance have improved.
Our two 2027 mock examinations are scheduled to give children the opportunity to experience the demands of the examination more than once during their preparation.
What makes a Jacqui Robinson Education mock different?
We have been preparing children for the Essex 11+ for over 40 years, giving us extensive experience of the demands of the CSSE examination.
Our mocks are designed to be more than simply a practice paper. We provide a realistic examination experience followed by detailed feedback, peer comparison and personalised follow-up teaching and practice, helping you understand not only how your child performed, but also how they can improve.
My child is nervous about sitting a mock exam. Should they still take part?
It's completely normal for children to feel nervous before their first mock exam. One of the benefits of taking part is that it gives them the opportunity to experience an examination environment before the real CSSE. Many children find that their confidence improves considerably once they know what to expect.
