This is the first session of a block of 5 lessons (4 for Spanish). Please note there is no KS3 English on 22nd but it will take place on 29th. There are no maths, Spanish, GCSE English or Art lessons on Thursday 29th January.
Maths
Higher IGCSE - 9:30 - 10:15
Lower KS3 - 11:05 - 11:55
Higher GCSE - 11:55 - 12:40
Foundation GCSE/Higher KS3 - 12:40pm - 1:30pm
The IGCSE and Foundation GCSE lessons taught by Katie run twice a week. Higher GCSE will run weekly on a Thursday.
The Higher GCSE lessons are fast paced and suitable for people taking the exam in summer 2026. Students need to attend both Tuesday and Thursdays lessons in order to cover the full remaining content.
The Foundation GCSE is suitable for those wanting to take Foundation GCSE in Summer 2006 or November or summer 2027. It is also suitable for those wanting to cover the foundation syllabus this academic year before moving to a Higher group in September 2026. Ideally students will take both Tuesday and Thursday lessons.
The Higher GCSE session is Thursday only, In this session we will be covering a range of higher GCSE topics, however with lessons once a week we will not be able to cover all topics and as such this should be seen as an add on lesson to other work completed at home.
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, or complete in class.
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.
10:20am - 11:05am - Spanish with Eva (no lesson on 8th - first lesson 15th).
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. No lesson on 13th November
This group is aimed at children ages 11+ and will be covering a range of KS3 English topics. This session is with Charlotte.
English Language GCSE 1:30pm - 3pm
These lessons are with English teacher Kia. You can find out more about Kia here. Children will be working to cover the IGCSE English Language syllabus over two years. As we currently have 8 children the cost for this term is £80. Please be aware that if anyone was to leave the group the cost will increase a little.
3pm - 4pm - Art
In these sessions children have access to our wide range of art and craft materials. Some sessions we will have projects that all will complete and in others children will choose (with help) from a range of activities. This session is usually with Katie and sometimes with Lisa.
Lunch
Children are welcome to eat their lunch on site. 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 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 in some of our sessions.
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.
