    After a break for half term, D6 returns this Saturday! ✨

    Is your child in Year 5 or 6? Bring them along to our peer coaching session this weekend! It’s brilliant for building confidence, as pupils get to take the lead and choose what they want to work on – whether that’s tackling tricky maths problems, polishing up spellings or practising a brand new skill.

    They’ll get supportive, side-by-side coaching alongside their classmates and our fantastic Year 9 student coaches plus, a FREE breakfast is included to keep them fuelled and ready to go! 🥐🍏
