Lots of worksheets completed this Sunday 🎉

We love incorporating fun, hands-on activities and tactile resources into our lessons! 🧩✏️ From practical materials to interactive games, these activities help bring learning to life and give children the opportunity to explore concepts in different ways.

But behind all that is something equally important: structure, consistency and carefully sequenced steps to learning. 📚

Our worksheets provide the foundations that tie everything together, breaking concepts down into manageable steps, reinforcing key skills and allowing children to build their understanding gradually. Each activity has a purpose, and every small step helps move them closer to mastering a skill independently.

A productive Sunday, with lots of learning to celebrate! 🌟

Building foundational skills is absolutely vital for success with Maths and English! 🧮📚

When we’re teaching place value for the first time, we crack out some Base Ten blocks. They help students understand numbers both visually and numerically, rather than just memorising facts!

For example, when students can physically see that 10 is made of 10 ones they begin to understand why that’s true.

In the early years, it is all about building a genuine understanding from the ground up - that way students have something solid to build upon in more advanced lessons.

Yesterday, I was paid an unexpected but very welcome visit at from a GCSE student from the last academic year! She was thrilled to have passed so well and is now looking to study business with psychology and then pursue a career in real estate. It’s the best feeling to be a part of a young person’s journey and see them hit their goals ✨

Here we have one of our youngest students prepping for year 1 learning to read and write unfamiliar numbers!

Whether your child needs help solidifying their foundations or needs a challenge to keep them engaged, we can provide that support for you and them!

How do we provide individualised tuition in a group setting? 👩‍🏫

Well the answer to this is not a simple one. But here’s one way we did it in last Tuesday’s lesson…

This student came in with a plan completed for homework. For this lesson, I asked him not to write it up and instead we would do it in class time.

During the lesson, we discussed his plan and then I asked him to write. After each paragraph, we paused, corrected and up-levelled.

This included:
- adding adjectives,
- changing sentence structure and learning how to use embedded clauses
- up-levelling by using “show not tell” techniques

Whilst the student wrote, I was able to help other students do the same in different ways.

This way students get to work in a fun environment around other children but also get the opportunity to tackle their own individual goals!

If this sounds like an environment your child would do well in, contact me 👇

A huge congratulations to GCSE students who received their results today! 🌟

No matter what the outcome, reaching this milestone is a great achievement. Your results are just one step along the journey.

As Churchill once said, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” If you did brilliantly, well done! If you wanted to do better, persevere and you will come out stronger next time.

We are so incredibly proud of all our students hard work and determination. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

Summer Sessions at First Class Learning! Sun☀️

Schools may be out but our students have been hard at work every Tuesday and Sunday this summer. They are coming in from cricket camps, gymnastics or a day at the pool to do just a little work to keep those brains active, engaged and ready for the classroom come September!

If you are looking for a supportive environment to help your child boost their confidence, catch up or get ahead, we can help you.

Forming Compound Sentences

When she joined us in Reception, this learner was using single words or 2–3 word phrases and had missed key language milestones, including forming full sentences. Through targeted support and visual cues, she is now developing her verbal skills and growing in confidence.
