Year 1

Structured, Sustained Preparation.

Our programmes are designed to be undertaken with purposeful consistency. During term time, we strongly advise pupils attend two sessions each week (one weekday and one weekend) to secure depth, fluency and confident application.

Entrance success at 7+ is rarely the result of sporadic practice. It is achieved through steady, cumulative development. The more consistently a child engages with the programme, the greater their opportunity to refine performance, strengthen examination technique and approach assessment with composure and assurance.

The detailed course programme is currently only available on the desktop version.

“When you ask our child now who is his favourite teacher, he replies unequivocally, “Mrs McKenna - she has the best smile and she teaches in the best way, she is very caring.” Mrs McKenna supported our son with the core curriculum but also encouraged him to be confident and find his own passion - she was teaching him an eagerness to learn. And for that we will be ever thankful.”
