Schools DON'T want tutored children!

Are you sure about that though?

Are you really certain about that?

Some of you seem to think that this is just a fact.

It’s not.

Tell me, what do these schools want then?

Let me tell you exactly what they want.

Children who can hold their pen/pencil correctly

Children who can draw perfectly well and to a very high standard

Children who can write then name

Children who can correctly write numbers 1-10 (to 20 for some)

Children who know all of their phonics and in some schools children who can read (decode and blend)

Children who know their rhyming words

Children who can identify numbers to 10 (to 20 for some)

Children who can work independently

Children who can work as part of a team

Children who can share

Children who are kind

Children who are nice to be around

Children who listen

Children who follow instructions

I could go on.

Now you tell me this, if you don’t support your children to be able to do all of the above to a very high standard, what chance will they have at being offered a place at your target school?

It will be very low.

Make ‘tutoring’ mean something negative if you wish. Tutoring is merely preparation. We prepare our students to go into any 4+ Assessment and show exactly what the assessors are looking for.

More than that however, we are preparing children to have a love for learning which goes far beyond any 4+ Assessment.

We have a brand new 3 month intensive preparation programme which will be perfect for you if you are preparing your child for the 4+ (2026 entry) Book your Sample Lesson and Sample Week today.
