u should ask at the schools themselves for past papers. and to 'train' the kids (don't be too harsh on them as these will be the first stressful exams they will have to take - i know because i studied at a private school) - you will have to look in papers, ask friends and just keep your eyes open for any good tuition teachers that teach especially for these exams..

W H Smith are great for 11+ and Bond Assessment papers which are based around the types of questions many of the private schools will use for their entrance exams.

The schools will supply the papers. Do you realise how much money it will cost you ? There are loads of extras on top of the fees eg music lessons, tuckshop allowance and if your children board you get bills for all sorts eg magazines, newspapers. Good luck
PS Don't underestimate the cost of the uniform and school trips can cost a fortune

"Train the children up"? For what? The circus?
Forcing them to swot for exams at such a young age could put them off learning for life.
If you really can't resist the private school pull (and bear in mind this is going to cost you around £7500 per child per year minimum), then ask the schools you're applying to.

Just write to the school(s) of your choice and they will be happy to supply you with past papers
