Reading a book builds children's language skills, expands their vocabulary, improves their grammar, and enhances their imagination and writing skills. A book also helps children build empathy and learn how to handle challenging feelings.

I have some fantastic news to share! Mahira faced disappointment when she didn’t secure a spot at HB, but now she has earned an incredible 100 bursaries at the City of London School for Girls. This is a powerful reminder to never stop dreaming and to always put in the hard work, my little fellow!

Dear All,

I am excited to announce that after the success of our creative writing course in 2023, 2024 I will be launching another engaging 12-week creative writing journey starting on January 25th, 2025, from 6 PM to 8 PM. This course is designed for students in Years 4, 5, and 6, and will delve into a comprehensive exploration of 12 common writing topics essential for the 11 Plus and other exam.

Throughout our sessions, we will cover a variety of writing forms, including both fictional and non-fictional story writing, book reviews, newspaper articles, letter writing, diary entries, and more. Each lesson will encourage creativity and critical thinking as we engage in exercises such as beginning a story from a specific line, crafting narratives that start with the conclusion, and writing descriptive pieces based on images.

To ensure that each child develops a strong writing foundation, lessons will focus on detailed vocabulary and writing structures, breaking down paragraphs step by step. Students will receive personalized feedback on their work after each session, helping them understand and improve their writing skills. Additionally, they will keep copies of example answers to serve as references before the exam, reinforcing their learning and preparation.

This course promises diverse topics each week, ensuring that students remain engaged and inspired.
