Choosing Again: Going for the 7+ after declining 4+

There’s a quiet moment many families experience around Year 1 or Year 2 — a pause, a look back, and a gentle wondering: Did we make the right choice at 4+?  

If you declined a 4+ offer and now find yourselves considering the 7+ assessment at the very same school, you are far from alone. In fact, this is one of the most common journeys families take in London’s admissions landscape.

The good news? The 7+ is not a second chance - it’s a different chance, built on a stronger foundation of maturity, skill, and self‑knowledge.
