The summer holiday is always a great opportunity for children to advance,
consolidate and revise, and this year it will be as important as ever - especially
for children preparing for entrance exams and for year 9/10 students to
continue building their skills before the autumn term.
Our summer programme of workshops, courses and lessons will run in
our classrooms at our Dukes Meadows venue near Chiswick Bridge with a
handful of options online.
All bookings are being taken online through our booking site.

develop a love of writing.

Our 11+ Workshops will run twice per week, Wednesday mornings for Eng-

9CREATIVE WRITING COURSE
Courses can be a very beneficial way for children to learn in a fun and
stimulating environment. Outside of their normal school environment and
peer group, they often lose their inhibitions and realise they can achieve
more than they think! Our 2-day themed Creative Writing Courses are
designed to ignite your child’s imagination and develop their writing skills
whilst having fun. The course will link literacy activities under a common
theme encouraging the children to explore different genres and find interest
and excitement in the world of writing. For younger children we are offering
a one-morning course to explore their creativity.

THINKING & MEMORY SKILLS
How often do you hear “I can’t remember that”? Learning by rote is no longer
a part of our children’s education as it was for many of us. Consequently,
many do not develop skills of how to remember information be it number
bonds, times tables, play scripts, capital cities etc.
This is a fun course of Thinking Skills and Memory Aids conducted by
one of our specialist teachers. The children learn strategies to aid their
memory in all areas of the curriculum and cover organisational techniques.

12COURSES FOR YEARS 9 & 10
HOW TO ACE UNSEEN POETRY | Weds 24th August 1:30-3:30pm
Sometimes it seems the joy of reading poetry vanishes when we are called
to analyse it. Of all the aspects of English literature, the unseen poetry
can cause the most anxiety. This practises the skills of analysis and will
hopefully demystify the process as well as featuring some lovely and
thought- provoking poems.
THE MATHEMATICS OF GAMES | Thurs 25th August 1.30-3.30pm
Explore some of our most popular card and board games from a
mathematical perspective. The course will show how we can solve
problems using mathematical knowledge, understanding probability
and why you should never gamble in a casino!
LEARN BY POST CORRESPONDENCE COURSE
Our “Learn by Post” correspondence course is ideal if you are away
from London for much of the summer holidays but would like your child
to maintain a reasonable level of work. The packs are tailored to the
individual needs and age of the child. A personalised pack containing a
number of different tasks will be sent through the post for the children to
work on throughout the week. The booking form allows you to specify the
date you would like each pack sent, and the address, as well as any special
requests regarding the content.
The children enjoy receiving their envelope through the post and returning
their work to us in the envelope provided. We then return it back to you,
marked. Previous participants have found this a fun way to keep some
educational momentum through a long summer away from school.
Up to five different packs are available
£40
Key Stages 1 & 2 – see booking site for dates. We
per pack
recommend a minimum of two packs
