Year 4 English booklet thumbnail

English
  • 1 hour
  • This course has been designed to develop our students’ understanding of literary techniques and their applications both in writing and reading comprehension. These are the core focus of the English exams in the stage 2 of the 11+ entrance examinations and are often tough to prepare for, so we highly recommend starting early. Tutors will guide students through analysis of a variety of texts, helping them identify the writer’s purposeful choices to illustrate how language is used for effect. Students will learn how to adapt and replicate these key writing features in their own works.
  • During this course, students will develop their ability to:
    • Interpret and analyse texts efficiently by ‘reading between the lines’ for deeper meaning.
    • Employ a range of sentence structures, figurative language, and extensive vocabulary to improve the quality of their writing.
    • Convey their ideas clearly and effectively, using accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPAG).
    • Read and write more fluently and confidently.

Maths
  • 1 hour
  • This course aims to establish and extend our students’ understanding of key mathematical concepts. We have handpicked tricky topics which often prove to be the stumbling blocks in the 11+ examinations, with a particular focus throughout the course on worded problem-solving questions that even the brightest students find the most challenging.
  • During this course, students will develop their ability to:
    • Confidently approach a range of core mathematical concepts.
    • Answer complex arithmetic questions quickly and accurately.
    • Apply their knowledge effectively to challenging problem solving questions.
    • Present their working out clearly and explain their reasoning.

Dates and Times

This course runs from 17th to 21st February, Monday to Friday. Each day, classes will run between 9am and 11:15am. Each subject that you select will run for 60 minutes per day, with a short break after each class.

Your timetable will be bespoke to you, as it is entirely dependent on your chosen subjects and availability, and will be confirmed to you by 7th February 2025.

Homework and Marking

Students will be given a daily homework booklet for each subject which they will be required to bring into the centre the day after the task has been set.

The day after submission, homework booklets will be marked and returned to you with comments from the tutor, providing feedback on your student’s progress and outlining key areas for them to focus further on.

In case you would like to review any of the work with your child after the course itself, markschemes will also be made accessible until the end of the year.
