Each course lasts for five evenings. The first four evenings will include tuition on maths, English, non-verbal reasoning and verbal reasoning. Most primary schools do not teach non-verbal reasoning or verbal reasoning and most of the maths topics that arise in the entrance exams are from the year 6 curriculum, meaning that most year 5 pupils will not have learnt them before. We will go through all of these to help your child feel prepared and confident.

On the fifth evening, the children will carry out mock entrance exams. They will be required to complete the tests under exam conditions, giving them an insight into what it will be like during the real exams. The children will have a chance to review their work once it has been marked, to allow them to ‘learn from their mistakes’.

As a tuition centre, we feel a huge responsibility to not only tutor our pupils and increase their attainment, but also to support their mental wellbeing. We have found that the entrance exams can cause a lot of stress and anxiety in children, so our summer school will include teaching on relaxation and breathing techniques. 

Our tutors are fully qualified teachers and are DBS checked.

Children are advised to bring along a snack and drink with them each day.

As we will be implementing social distancing, there will only be space for four students in the centre at any one time. We will, however, have four virtual spaces available each week (via Zoom). Please indicate your preference when getting in touch.

In regards to the Covid-19 pandemic, please be assured that we are following the government guidelines and your child’s health and safety is our main priority. If you have any questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
