Many children don’t raise their hand in class not because they’re deliberately shy, but because they feel unsure or confused about the lesson.

📍Gaps in understanding – They haven’t fully grasped previous topics, so they’re hesitant.
📍Fear of getting it wrong – Worry about being embarrassed in front of classmates.
📍Processing speed – They need a bit more time to think before answering.
📍Classroom distractions – Noisy environments can make it harder to focus or follow instructions.
📍Low confidence in learning – They may assume they aren’t good at this subject.

That’s why small group or one-to-one sessions, like at Kip McGrath, are so effective—they give children a safe space to ask questions, build understanding, and regain confidence, so they can participate more in class.

Is your child struggling in class? Call us today and we’ll design a support plan to boost their confidence! Book a FREE learning assessment by visiting www.kipmcgrath.co.uk/ashton-in-makerfield or contact Mark on 07512340831

Sometimes, during an assessment, we identify signs that a child may be facing additional barriers to learning that have not yet been recognised.

Parents are often unaware of these difficulties, and in some cases, concerns may not yet have been raised by school. These can include underlying learning needs, processing difficulties, or other challenges that may be affecting a child's confidence and progress.

Our assessments help us build a complete picture of each child’s strengths and areas of need, allowing us to provide appropriate support and guidance.

This year alone, we have supported six families whose children have subsequently secured an EHCP after concerns identified during our assessments.

Early identification and the right support can make a significant difference to a child's confidence, wellbeing, and educational journey.

📅 Our assessment appointments are booking up very quickly, and we still have a number of assessments scheduled over the coming weeks. If you're concerned that your child may not be reaching their full potential, don't wait to seek support.
