Bradley House Tuition

I’m delighted to announce that our little boy, Otis, finally made his arrival on Saturday morning. We are both doing really well, and his big brother couldn’t be prouder. 💙

I hope everyone is keeping well, and I’m very much looking forward to seeing you all again one day when things have settled. Thank you for all your continued support, it means so much.

Replies to messages and enquiries may be a little slower than normal at the moment, but if anyone needs to speak to someone urgently, please contact Louise or Hannah, who are kindly taking over while I am away.

Wishing you all a magical and memorable Christmas. 🎄✨

Fern. ❤️

This week is dyslexia awareness week!

At Bradley House Tuition, we’re passionate about adapting our teaching to meet each child’s needs.
Dyslexic learners bring amazing strengths to the classroom — and we’re proud to celebrate them this week and every week. 💙

Highly recommend Yorkshire Tutors ✨ 📚

📣 Just ONE space left in our Year 8/9 English tuition group! 🗓 Tuesdays | 4:00–4:50 PM 📍 Birkenshaw Methodist Church 👥 Small group capped at 4 students ✨ This is a very supportive group designed to: ✔ Build confidence before the GCSE years ✔ Give students a chance to strengthen their foundations ✔ Provide personalised support in a relaxed, small-group setting The first session starts next week – imagine how good it will feel to have the right support in place from the start of the school year. 📩 DM us to arrange a chat with John Rush (30 years’ English teaching experience) and see if this would be a good fit for your child.

As a tutor, I see every day just how powerful play can be in helping children grow, learn, and develop a true love for learning. The Early Years framework already highlights the importance of play, yet many schools reduce opportunities for it once children enter Key Stage 1.

A new government petition is calling for play and continuous learning to become statutory in the KS1 curriculum. This would ensure that children aged 5–7 continue to learn in ways that nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence, rather than moving too quickly into a formal, test-driven system.

Play-based learning isn’t “just play” — it builds problem-solving, language, social skills, resilience, and imagination. By embedding it into KS1, we give children the foundations they need for lifelong learning and wellbeing.

If you believe that play matters, please consider signing and sharing the petition.

Thanks for reading,
Fern.

Petition: Make Play and Continuous Provision statutory in England's Key Stage 1 Curriculum Revise statutory guidance for KS1 to make play based pedagogy a core part of the Key Stage One National Curriculum, extending the best practice that we see in Early Years to ensure all Key Stage One children continue to have a developmentally appropriate play based approach to their learning.

I am so unbelievably proud of my Year 6 students this week. SATs week is undoubtedly the most stressful time for Year 6’s but from what I have heard, they’ve all taken it in their stride.
You have worked so hard to get to where you are now and I am so proud of you, it really has been a pleasure supporting you all.

Your best is always enough for me. I can’t wait to celebrate with you all next week. 🥳

Next stop - high school! 😳

October is ADHD awareness month. 🍂
This is an annual event that takes place to educate the public about ADHD, raise awareness, reduce stigma and provide support for those affected by ADHD.

See below some more information about ADHD and how we support our learners at Bradley House Tuition. ✏️📚

Hi everyone!
We’ve had a lot of enquiries over the last couple of weeks so I thought I’d post our current timetable below.
We aim to keep our group sizes as small as possible to ensure individual needs are met.
If you would like to register an interest, join a waiting list or have any further questions please feel free to drop us a message. 📚✏️

Happy New School Year! 🍎
It’s a very emotional one for me this time as my little boy starts full-time next week! 🥹
I currently run my Home-Ed / alternative provision sessions on a Wednesday but with my little shadow now starting school, I have plenty more availability.
Feel free to send me a message if you would like some more information. 😊

We’ve been out again hiding some more books at Oakwell Hall on behalf of Look for a Book - Gomersal & Surrounding Areas
I’ll post some clues in the comments. 😊👀
