Next Saturday we are holding a charity game in memory of the wonderful Emily Lawrence who sadly passed away this week.

Emily asked that we held a game to raise money and awareness for Cancer Research and helped set up and plan Saturday's game.

We will have a Bar, BBQ, Cafe, bouncy castle and raffle.
A real family event with JBFC v Simla kicking off at 1.30pm.

Please come along and support a great cause and help raise money for Cancer Research.

What a difference a term’s worth of tutoring makes. 😃 🖋️ 🥇 ✍️
This Year 3 child joined me as a school refuser as a result of her anxiety over writing at school. Fast forward to our creative writing lesson this week and her stunning writing. An author on the making, and a little girl who now chooses to write for pleasure.

Feedback like this is why I truly love Tutoring. Seeing a child or young person’s progress grow each lesson is something I feel so privileged to witness each day.
