How Does It Work?
Each Year 4 and Year 5 group follows a strategically planned, indepth curriculum that ensures mastery of creative writing and reading comprehension for 11 Plus English success. With just a weekly 75-minute lesson, your child will grow their creative writing confidence, vocabulary and master core comprehension exam strategies for your target school(s) English exams. Are you ready to ignite your child’s unique brilliance?
