Our programme
Our programme is based on one session of English and/or one session of maths per week with a maximum of 8 children per class. Additional sessions can be booked to recap or reinforce the focus for that week.
English
AGES: We can accommodate children starting from the end of Year 1, and we may also consider younger siblings. For more information about ages, please email us.
Year 2
Word Reading – phonic knowledge and skills, reading aloud and fluency
Reading comprehension – answering questions on given text, recall of information and making inferences.
Writing and composition – creative writing, planning what they are going to write about and encapsulating what they want to say, sentence by sentence.
Vocabulary, punctuation and grammar – expanded nouns, using punctuation correctly, sentences with different forms.
Year 3 and 4
Year 3 and 4 follow the same National Curriculum objectives, but will be taught differently to develop their skills.
Reading comprehension – understanding what they have read independently, drawing inferences and justifying with evidence, predictions and thinking how language, structure and presentation contribute to meaning.
Writing and composition – creative writing, composing sentences and organising paragraphs around a theme.
Vocabulary, punctuation and grammar – using a range of sentences, conjunctions, adverbs and prepositions, fronted adverbials.
Year 5 and 6
Year 5 and 6 follow the same National Curriculum objectives, but will be taught differently to develop their skills.
Reading comprehension – different genres of text, drawing inference and justifying with evidence, predicting and summarising, identifying how language, structure and presentation contribute to meaning.
Writing and composition – describe settings, characters and atmosphere, using dialogue, paragraphs, drafting and editing.
Vocabulary, punctuation and grammar – expanded noun phrases, relative clauses, recognising vocabulary and structures that are appropriate to formal speech and writing.
Maths
AGES: We can accommodate children starting from the end of Year 1, and we may also consider younger siblings. For more information about ages, please email us.

Algebra – simple formula, number sequences, expressing missing number problems algebraically.
Statistics – interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs, calculating the mean
What they say
“This was my first experience of this type of support and I can honestly say it has made me see tuition differently. I feel so much more inclined to bring this support in regularly and make it a norm for us as a family.”
“My daughter loves going to these sessions! She keeps asking to go back ! The work sheets are sent home with comments on them. Excellent club!”
