It's always so lovely to hear that we've helped a student's confidence as well as their academics - see our latest review from Gina, one of our Y11 parents, below! Fingers crossed for results day ☺️

✨Vocab Alert!✨

It's another one of our favourites and a bit of two for one - what the word is and how to use it in your Literature essays!

🎯In Macbeth, Shakespeare has the witches use equivocation when speaking, to make them seem unreliable and untrustworthy.

Temperatures are falling, leaves are starting to turn, it can only mean one thing.....the new school year has started!

Massive welcome back to all our students, and wishing you all the best for the year ahead! If you're GCSE year, now is the time to start banking resources, checking you have study guides and making sure you have ideas about a revision strategy for mock exams.

It's our first post of 2025 and we're back in with a ✨Vocab Alert!✨

A brilliant word to add to description of someone and score some vocabulary marks on your creative writing! If someone is gregarious, they enjoy the company of other people.

November is here and we hope all our students and their families had an enjoyable and restful half-term. Now that our KS4 students are in the midst of revision, a great way to revise your key text is to see a production of it - this gives you a greater insight into the characters and allow you to see the emotions/motives behind the way they behave.

We'd recommend Shakespeare in the Squares' production of Macbeth, which is touring select churches of London from the 7th to the 30th of November. A good night out with lots of atmosphere! See the link below for more details....

It might be the first week back, but delighted to say it's busier than ever here! We also received some lovely feedback from the parent of one of our Year 11's from last year - so nice to hear that we've made a positive impact and helped with his future success 🥰

(And yes, you may have noticed we've fully embraced the new season!)

A massive congratulations to our Year 11 students (and their classmates) for completing their final English exams yesterday! Best of luck for the last few exams and hope you enjoying a restful and relaxing summer! 👏👏
