This is the first session of a block of 4 lessons (no Creative English & Business on 20th and no maths lessons on 27th January)
Maths GCSE/ Higher KS3
Foundation GCSE/Higher KS3 - 2pm - 2:45pm
Higher - 2:55pm - 3:40pm
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.
There is an additional Higher GCSE class on a Thursday only.

Creative English 2 - 2:45
This session is aimed at approx ages 9+. Children will be able read and write independently.
In these groups children will look at different children’s stories, poems and books each week and complete a variety of activities inspired by the texts. This is a fun session which encourages children’s imaginations and love of literature. This session is with Charlotte.
Business 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 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 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.
