Explore Writing
Explore Writing is ideal for those children who have a great passion for writing and who love to get stuck into a lengthier writing project. It is also fantastic for those who might find creating crazy characters a little bit daunting. In this course we will be looking at many areas of creative writing including newspaper article writing, play script writing and also story writing, breaking each topic down into manageable chunks.
Explore Writing is open to all of our members aged 8 and above. Please let a centre manager know if you would like to secure your child a place on this popular course.
Exam Preparation
Exam prep is open to all members in year 5 looking to sit entrance exams or the 11+. The course covers all areas tested in these exams we look at verbal and non verbal reasoning as well as maths and English. The children are given practice papers, which means we are able to regularly monitor their progress and their application of methods in a test situation.
Exam Prep runs every Tuesday evening, Please speak to a centre manager about more information on getting your child booked onto this course.
Succeed in Secondary
Open to all members in year 6 and beyond, Succeed in Secondary is a course designed to aid the transition between primary and secondary school helping it be as smooth a transition as possible. Through looking at varying and interesting topics we build up and develop several skills such as debating, presentation skills, essay writing and many more. This course is a fantastic way of boosting confidence levels using a hands on approach which will then in turn transfer through into the classroom.
To find out more or to book your child in, please contact a centre manager.
