Succeed in Secondary - Thursdays 7pm - 8pm
Our highly popular Succeed in Secondary course is for children in year 6, 7, 8 and 9. The aim of the course is to support children through the sometimes tricky transition between Key Stage 2 and 3. We look at current affairs topics whilst focusing on developing debating, presentation and research skills.

Working alongside our tutors, our members develop their skills in an environment that gets them really excited about their work.
