Key Stage 1 & Key Stage 2 Tuition – Build Strong Academic Foundations

This course aims to teach crucial subjects, including English (reading, writing, grammar, spelling, and comprehension), Mathematics (number work, problem-solving, geometry, and measurement), and Verbal and Nonverbal Reasoning, as well as Science.

Key Stage 1 includes numeracy, literacy, confidence, and support, while Key Stage 2 helps to develop a firm foundation in number, literacy, and prepares them for secondary.
