“We had planned to stop the tutoring after the 11+ exam, but with the next lockdown and more disruption to her education, we quickly relented when she literally begged us to continue going! The sessions are adjusted to her needs and she describes them as ‘really fun’ and she likes it that the work is specific to her level and much more individualised than the class work at school.”Summer School 15th -19th August 2022 John Pounds Centre
Maths and English Fun at Summer School
Summer will soon be here and Summer School 2022 is here by popular demand! Each student receives 10 hours of professional tuition with fully qualified teachers. The children stay in the afternoon for sport activities.
We are again colaborating with Michael Whitelock at Go Active Camps and the John Pounds Centre. The morning tutoring is run by our experienced tutors in the John Pounds Centre IT Suite. After that the children have a full programme of games and activities designed to boost their physical, social and cooperative skills.
During the week our tutors are able to give each child a really good boost in maths or English. As they are not at school we can teach longer sessions each day (2hrs). This allows us to focus on a smaller number or skills to really work on. Summer School is always a really fun and positive experience with children getting lots of stamps and stickers and feeling they really have made a lot of progress! Many of our families enjoy it so much they come back year after year!

Many Children Fall Behind
‘Research shows as many as one in three children can fall behind as a result of a seven-week break from the classroom.’
For most children, summer is a time to leave classes and homework behind. While summer is a holiday from school, it does not have to be a holiday from learning. The summer holiday is great for recharging your children’s batteries, but if they are not using the skills and knowledge that was learned in the classroom, they will find themselves struggling when school starts up again.
Skills and knowledge gained throughout the school year fade during the summer months. Research shows that loss of content retention begins within 24 to 48 hours of learning unless the new information is reinforced or applied immediately. That is why, during summer holidays, even the best students forget lessons they have learned during the school year. After a month without reinforcement, approximately 80 percent of what a student has recently learned can be lost.
Gain Confidence
For children who have struggled in school, summer is an invaluable opportunity to catch-up on key skills and feel more confident when they return to class. For students who do well, it is an opportunity to keep their enthusiasm for learning high.
