This arrived after a first session last week.

A first session is such a significant moment for a child. New place, new person, new expectations. It takes courage to walk in.

And when they come out, it speaks volumes when they say they loved their first session!

Our tutors know that a child who feels good about being somewhere, learns better in that place.

If your child needs a calm, encouraging space to build their confidence this term, we would love to welcome them too.

Your child uses inference every single day, they just don't know it yet. ๐Ÿ’›

When they walk past someone on the street and form an instant impression. When they watch a film and predict what happens next. When they sense that a friend is upset before a word has been spoken.

Inference is already there. The job is to make it conscious, and then transferable to the page.

Swipe through and have a go at our lost property challenge. Three very different people. Nothing but clues.

Could your child work out who each bag belongs to?

This is exactly the kind of thinking we develop at By The Bay, the ability to read not just what is written, but what is meant. That skill is tested in every comprehension paper from KS2 through to GCSE, and it is one of the most significant differences between a child who finds reading straightforward and one who finds it a struggle.

The good news is that inference can be taught, practised and built, with the right support and the right approach.

Save this post for a rainy day activity, and share it with a parent whose child is working on their reading. ๐Ÿ’›

Since starting Year 7, R hadn't scored higher than 62% in his Maths tests, not once!
But when his end of year results came in July he had received 96% - second highest in his class!

In a short amount of time, with the right support, in a calm space, where our tutor finally had the time to sit with him and help it make sense.

This is what happens when a childโ€™s needs are met and supported properly.
We are so proud of R. And so grateful to the family who took the time to let us know. Messages like this are the reason we do what we do.

If your child is capable of more than their results are showing, we would love to help.

We have a very small number of 11+ spaces remaining for this term, and once they are gone, we will not have availability again until after October half term.

If your child is in Year 5 and their 11+ journey is underway, now is the last moment to get support in place before the term is fully under way and the weeks start disappearing.

The children who feel most prepared at the 11+ are almost always the ones who had consistent, calm, expert support from the very start of Year 5 (Or Year 4 even!), not the ones who started in a panic in the spring.

That head start is still available, but only just.

Message us today before these spaces go.

You have done the work. The preparation is complete. There is nothing left to do now except rest, trust yourself, and walk in on Saturday knowing you are ready.

We will be thinking of every single one of you. You've got this.

And for the Year 5 families watching this space, your journey is just beginning.

Seeing our Year 6 children reach this moment every year reminds us exactly why we love what we do. And it reminds us how much those months of calm, consistent preparation matter.

If your child is heading into their 11+ year and you haven't yet secured their support for this term, we have a very small number of spaces remaining.

Don't wait until October to wish you'd started in September.

This made our morning. ๐Ÿ’›

Over a year of weekly sessions, this student has learned a lot, made new friends and enjoyed every single one.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. It means everything to us and to Janine.

And on that note, if By The Bay has made a difference to your child this year and you've been meaning to say so, now is a lovely moment to do it.

For every Google or Facebook review left in the next month, we have a little something to say thank you, a bespoke By The Bay gift, our way of saying your words matter more than you know.

Your review doesn't help us get our name out there, it helps another family find us. And it means another child gets the support they deserve.

To every child sitting their 11+ at the end of next week, this one is for you. ๐Ÿ’›

You have worked so hard to get to this point. Many early mornings, practice papers, late nights, extra homework, questions that felt impossible at times and moments you wanted to give up (but didn't!).

You have already done the hardest bit. So when you walk into that exam room next week, it wonโ€™t be new. You've already practised and learnt everything you need.

๐Ÿ’› Read each question carefully.
๐Ÿ’› Take your time.
๐Ÿ’› If something feels tricky, move on and come back.

Trust the preparation you have put in.

And when it's over (whatever the result) know this: you were brave enough to try. That matters more than ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜บ score on any paper.

We are so proud of every single one of you. One week left for final preparations and then go and show them what you can do.

To the parents, take a breath too. You have supported, encouraged and believed in your child every step of the way. Next week is their moment, but you made it possible, and youโ€™ve worked hard too!

Whatever happens next, the journey has already shaped them in ways that will last far longer than any exam result.

You've got this!

At the end of the Academic year, our tutors received so many wonderful cards and texts from parents to say thank you for supporting their children.

If you sent us one of those messages (or if you have been meaning to and just haven't quite got there yet) we would love it if you would take a few minutes to share it somewhere a little more public.

A Google review or a recommendation on our page doesn't just mean the world to us. It means a family who needed us found us. It means a child who was struggling got the support they deserved. That is the real value of your words. It also means other families looking for support for their child will know theyโ€™ve found the right place.

โญ Leave us a Google review
โญ Recommend us on Facebook

All pupils whose parents have left reviews this September will receive a special By the Bay token of our appreciation.

Thank you for trusting us with your children last year (and this year too!). It is one of the greatest privileges. ๐Ÿ’›

We are nearly full for this term, and we wanted to make sure the right families know about the spaces we still have before they go.

If you have been thinking about getting support in place for your child and haven't quite got there yet, now is your chance.

Here is what we still have available:

๐Ÿ’› ๐—ฌ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ ๐Ÿฏ group sessions: 4 spaces remaining

๐Ÿ’› ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿญ+ ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป: 3 spaces remaining

๐Ÿ’› Limited ๐—š๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป spaces from Wednesday to Saturday.

Once these are gone, we won't have availability again until after half term.

If any of these sound like your child, or if you're not sure what would be the right fit, just message us. We'll have a conversation, find out what your child needs, and help you work out the best option.

We will ensure we provide the right support, for the right child, at the right time.

The first week back is here and for a lot of families, that brings a mix of feelings.

Here are just a few things worth visiting before school is back in full swing.

Whether your child is nervous, excited or pretending they're absolutely fine when they're really not, this one is for you.

Save this, share it with a parent you know, and remember: by Friday it will already feel different.

And if your child could do with some extra support this term, academically, in confidence, or simply in having a safe space to learn and thrive, we have a small number of spaces still available across KS1, KS2, GCSE and A Level.

Message us today and we'll help you find the right fit.
