Succeed in Secondary, Wednesday from 7-8pm
If you are in Year 6 or above then why not come along to our
Succeed in Secondary course? To prepare you for secondary school we

reports to practising note taking, debating and developing presentation
skills. There are limited spaces available on this course so ask a
manager about when you can get started.

Focusing on all aspects of the test we guide you through English, maths,verbal and non-verbal reasoning in a fun and supportive atmosphere. Drop into the centre and talk to the team to find how we can really prepare you for your exam!
Explore Learning and Schools
Since opening, the team at Merton have worked with many local schools providing free numeracy and literacy workshops. Our workshops are national curriculum aligned and are designed to get children of all ages really enthusiastic about their work. We can provide assembly activities and love to get involved with other activities happening at the schools i.e. school fetes and Christmas fairs.
If you would like us to get involved in activities in your school, please don’t hesitate to contact the centre as we will be happy to provide you with a booking form for the literacy and numeracy workshops over the next couple of terms or to discuss other possibilities with you.
Workshops
We have coordinated events in our local leisure centres playing interactive and energising games with children of all ages. We regularly host maths and English workshops at our local libraries, which are free for families in the area. The Donald Hope Library has been host to a number of our recent events and we have really enjoyed meeting the children who frequent their facility.
Members Workshops
During the school holidays we hold a number of free workshops. These cover all ages and all members are welcome to sign up! Have a look at our booking brochure on reception or speak to a manager about which one will suit you best.
Open Sessions
Open sessions are a great opportunity to find out more about your child's work at Explore. Come along to the centre and let your child be your tutor for the afternoon, they can show you their work, tell you about all of the great games in Surf Club and let you see just how clever they are!
Our next open session will be held on:

Quotes from our parents
"Since attending Explore my son has had his thirst for learning re-kindled! He started Explore at a time when he had been feeling less enthusiastic at school, and Explore revived his interest and motivation." Merton Parent
"Thank you for all your hard work in helping Owais & Tayyab. They have recently been recognised as 'Gifted and Talented' in Creative Writing at school. This is in no doubt due to your efforts." Shazra Abbasi, Merton parent
Quotes from our members
"Explore teaches me things before I get to learn them in school which gets me ahead of the other people in my class"
