Additional courses
Explore Writing
This creative writing course is a specially designed programme that is set to stimulate and stretch your child's imagination! The course will teach your child to use literary techniques to create stories, newspaper articles and play scripts. We have something for every creative mind out there.
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.
11+ Tuition
Are you off to grammar school next year? Our 11+ course, which started at the end of January, is excellent preparation for your entrance exam. Focusing on all aspects of the test we guide you through verbal and non-verbal reasoning in a fun and supportive atmosphere. We also accept children who aren’t sitting an entrance exam but who are looking for a real challenge onto this course. Drop into the centre and talk to Grace to find how we can really prepare you for your exam!
Succeed in Secondary
We now offer a fantastic course that is designed to build on vital skills required for Secondary school. We look at issues in the news today and create exciting projects based around them. These range from PowerPoint presentations and newspaper reports to practicing note taking and debating. If you are in year 6 or above and want to find out more please come into the centre and talk to one of the managers.

Centre News & Local Events
All children at Secondary School are entitled to older member privileges and are welcome to attend our ‘Oldies’ evening on Mondays. These privileges include being able to use your MP3 players during your surf club times, and if your parents permit it, you may use them during those maths and English activities for which you don’t need your headphones. You will also be given your own note book to make notes on anything important that you learn whilst you’re here, i.e. methods in maths.
