In Leamington, we concentrate on preparing candidates for the Warwickshire papers, while supporting each child as they realise their potential in this often unfamiliar area of study. Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable tutors ensure children are given great insight into how to best prepare for the exams, with a range of techniques explored each week and complemented by realistic exam practice. This inclusive course runs from January to the end of October and is for children in Year 5.
Succeed in Secondary, Wednesday 7-8pm
Running on Wednesday evenings, members from Year 6 and above can come to engage in topical debates, practice researching through a variety of challenging sources, and develop a broad range of presentation skills – all essential as they make the transition between primary and secondary school.
Explore Writing, Thursday 7-8pm
Explore Writing is the exciting creative writing course open to all members aged 8-14 years old. Exploring a range of writing styles and posing stimulating challenges to stretch every child’s imagination, this course makes creative writing accessible to even the most reluctant authors! Working alongside our tutors, our members craft work they can be really proud of.
Explore Learning and Schools
Our interactive workshops are a great way of supporting the work our members are doing in the classroom. We have recently enjoyed working with some great local schools including Our Lady and St Teresa, St Anthony's and Priorsfield.
