Booster Classes
These booster classes run for various levels at Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 and concentrate on the National Curriculum requirements. We focus primarily on Mathematics and English. For each level we select a number of core components that make up the subject grades and teach them using a structured approach supported with examples. Our programme of teaching prepares children for the key stage assessment providing them with real exam type questions to improve grades.
