Curriculum
A range of teaching and learning techniques are used including the use of interactive activities, which combine the excitement of computer games with the serious task of learning to read, spell or solve maths problems.
All primary lessons include stimulating starter activities using educational games that have been carefully selected to stimulate mental development. All lessons are linked to the National Curriculum objectives and the National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies.
At GCSE and A Level, study sessions will be personalised to cover the topics and meet the levels of individual students. We also offer practical advice on how to say motivated, homework and exam techniques.

Preparation for 11+ Entrance Exams
A recent article in the Times Educational Supplement showed that the average student applying for a place at a Grammar or Independent School began preparation by being tutored as soon as they entered Year 5. High competition for places and a desire to get children to the best Universities has led to parents making these decisions.
