About Courses A and B
It is a 6-day course that lasts 4 hours each day, totalling 24 hours. It is taught by Mrs Leila B and Mrs Pillai. We will be sharing the courses like in previous years. This course will cover the entire new KS2 syllabus and the 11-plus syllabus. Suitable for those currently in Year 5. These will benefit students who started slightly late with their preparation or require a better understanding of the subjects or even struggle to revise on their own. Or perhaps you don’t have the time to sit with them in the summer holidays to revise.
Unlike other providers, your child will not do test papers in these courses. Your child will be taught topic by topic, and we will ensure they understand each topic before moving on. Printed course material will be posted to you beforehand.
For the course to be effective, you will need to attend all days of each subject. You can book each subject separately or both subjects together. A copy of the syllabus is attached.
There are a maximum of 30 spaces in each course. Spaces will be strictly offered on a first-come, first-served basis. We already have a waiting list in place for external students, so spaces cannot be held without payment for internal students.
We have been running these courses for the past 12 years with a success rate in excess of 97%. (Success is measured by whether a child who attended the course passed the entrance exams).
4. Monday, 24/08 9:30 am to 2:00 pm:
Exam techniques, time management, managing expectations, dealing with stress and dealing with the outcomes of exams.
Taught FACE to FACE at Harris Academy Purley CR2 6DT by Mrs Pillai, Mrs B and Mrs Farida Alibhai, a clinical paediatric hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, to guide students through an empowering session on stress management, maintaining a positive mindset, and overcoming challenges. Through engaging exercises and expert techniques, students will learn how to stay focused, resilient, and in control, even under pressure!
