This is the fifth session of a block of 6 lessons. As the block has already started, if you would like to book please message us.
Maths GCSE/ Higher KS3 and Lower KS3
Higher GCSE - 9:30 - 10:15
Foundation GCSE/Higher KS3 - 12:40pm - 1:30pm
Lower KS3 - 10:20 - 11:05
The GCSE lessons taught by Katie run twice a week. For those who wish to cover the syllabus in one year they would need to do both lessons, or to cover over two years they should take one lesson a week. We will be working towards the IGCSE Mathematics syllabus in order that students can, if they wish, take their exams in November even if they are not 16. As the IGSCe syllabus includes the vast majority of the GCSE syllabus it would still be possible to sit the GCSE if you prefer.
These lessons include homework which is expected to be handed in each week in order to track progress, as well as termly assessments for children to complete at home and hand in.
The Foundation GCSE is also suitable for children working at higher KS3 level as the content is almost the same.
If you would like advice about which level to enter your child for please send us a message.
The Lower KS3 group is aimed at children who have covered the KS2 syllabus.
11:10am - 11:55am - Spanish with Eva
These Spanish sessions with Eva are lots of fun, with learning taking place in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
KS3 English - 1:35pm - 2:20pm
This group is aimed at children ages 11+ and will be covering a range of KS3 English topics. This half term we will be working on creative writing. This session is with Katie
English Language GCSE 1:30pm - 3pm
These lessons are with English teacher Kia. You can fine out more about Kia here. Children will be working to cover the IGCSE English Language syllabus over two years. Children will be expected to complete and hand in homework. Please note that if we get 4+ children the price will be reduced £126 or if we have the maximum of 8 children then it will be £96. if this happens we will issue a refund for the difference.
3pm - 4pm - Art
For art we are splitting in to two groups. Please book by choosing the group your child would like to mostly be in. There may be times, for example when one group is finishing a project, when we move children about for an odd session. Also if it becomes apparent that a child isn’t in the appropriate group we reserve the right to swap them over, and will let you know if this is the case.
Art 1 - Art with Lisa, looking in depth at different techniques and medium to create detailed pieces of art - great for older children who want to improve their art skills and perhaps prepare for further art study.
Art 2 - Art with Katie, working on a different project or with a different medium each week, sometimes looking at different artists and taking inspiration from various sources. Great for those who want to create projects using inspiration and their imagination.
Lunch
Children are welcome to eat their lunch on site and there is a break 11:55am - 12:40pm for this. Please ask your children to eat in non-carpeted rooms only and to tidy all their lunch things away and pick up any dropped food etc.
General info
If you are booking for more than one child then we are able to offer you a 5% discount. Use code Homeedtues2+ at checkout for this. If you currently receive benefits and will struggle to afford for your child to take part in the groups please get in touch as we may be able to offer a discounted place.
Children are welcome to stay between sessions and play in our rooms - we have a wide selection of games and toys, or of course they are welcome to bring their own activities. You are usually welcome to leave children with us during their lessons so long as you remain contactable - we will ask you to come in or to stay if your child needs you, or you are welcome to stay onsite with your child. We do ask that you are on site with your child between lessons and take responsibility for ensuring that your child gets to their lessons, (unless by prior agreement). We have a very busy day with lots of families taking part so the teachers and shop staff are not able to take responsibility for other children. We also ask that you ensure your child clears up after themselves before they leave.
For new families we have a guidance and expectations sheet that we will ask you and your child to agree to when you first join us.
