Special<br />
– a parents’ guide<br />
Choosing a school for your child, whether<br />
primary or secondary, is an important<br />
decision. In Essex, there is a wide choice<br />
for parents, including independent,<br />
grammar, specialist and faith schools.<br />
When making a decision, it will help<br />
to gather as much information as you<br />
can, make comparisons, read school<br />
prospectuses and Ofsted reports and<br />
visit open days. Most schools run open<br />
days or evenings at least once a year.<br />

Chelmsford County High School for Girls<br />
CCHS is a selective state school. Children who wish to enter<br />
Year 7 take an entrance test, which is designed to identify those<br />
girls who have the ability to thrive in an academic school.<br />
A child does not require tutoring to be successful in the test, in<br />
fact, they actively discourage it. They recommend that parents use<br />
the familiarisation paper available on the school’s website to inform<br />
their child of the type of questions she will be answering. The test<br />
distinguishes between an average<br />
ability child who has been tutored,<br />
and an able one who has not. It is<br />
the latter who will be successful<br />
and enjoy life at CCHS.<br />
Please note there is no fee<br />
required to sit the test. For more<br />
