Small groups with personal support

Group classes are kept to a maximum of 15 children, so pupils feel supported, included and challenged at the right level. One-to-one support is also available for families who would benefit from more individual preparation.

One-to-one when it helps most

Individual support can be tailored to a child's pace, confidence and priorities. Families can choose one-to-one sessions on their own or combine them with small-group workshops.
