Will my child actually learn in a group, or will they be left behind?
Groups are intentionally made smaller and are year-group and ability-based, ensuring lessons are pitched correctly to challenge and support each child. Our teachers provide personalised attention within the group and regularly check understanding, so no child is left behind. If we have any concerns, or your child is particularly struggling on a concept, your child’s tutor will be in touch personally to guide and support you on how to close that gap. This could be by sending resources to you and having a go at questions for further support.
