This is the first session of a block of 6 lessons (5 for Creative English - no session this week, and maths - no lesson on Tuesday 30th September)
Maths GCSE/ Higher KS3 (No session on 30th September)
Foundation GCSE/Higher KS3 - 2pm - 2:45pm
Higher - 2:55pm - 3:40pm
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.
Business
Business 1 - 2 - 2:45
Business 2 - 2:55 - 3:40
In this group children are working together in small groups to build a business. Each week will take on a different theme learning skills and knowledge to turn them in to young entrepreneurs. Children will be aiming to work on products that they would like to bring to market. The price for this workshop includes as small budget for each group to get their business ideas started, along with a plan for a ‘Dragons Den’ style session for them to pitch their business ideas and gain investment from both The Place and parents.
Children are welcome to take part in either group depending on how it fits with their other lessons. They will be working in small groups with a mix of children starting at the beginning, and some that have already been working on their business ideas.
This group is run by Jasmine.
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.
