Year 5

All our Year 4 students automatically get a space into our Year 5 classes. Therefore, spaces for external students are limited.
They are offered based on an admissions test your child will need to complete either online or face to face.

We have a hybrid system for our main teaching classes, which means that in a four-week month, two classes are face-to-face and two are online. The online classes are with Mrs. Leila Boumazouna and face-to-face with Mrs. Manju Pillai, and will be on a set day every week. The online lessons will also be on the set day.

The venues for the 2 face to face classes a month are:

Mondays at Harris Sutton, SM2 5QP

Tuesdays at Harris Academy Purley, CR2 6DT

Wednesdays at Harris Academy Purley, CR2 6DT

Thursdays at Harris Sutton, SM2 5QP

Saturdays at Harris Academy Purley, CR2 6DT

Please note that we cannot guarantee a space in a class straight away as they are ability-based and are subject to availability. If we cannot offer you a space, we will refund you the admission test fee.

Once we have marked your child’s assessment, we will email you with the results.

Fees are payable monthly in advance by bank transfer or using childcare vouchers as we are OFSTED registered. There is an additional monthly fee of £30 per month for the detailed marking and feedback on creative writing and comprehension. This is paid as a PayPal subscription using a discount code to www.learn2write.co.uk. This comes with a marking scheme and an exemplar task every week.

Every child must attend at least one weekly session of 2 hours. Classes are held in groups of 12 – 15 students who are split into groups based on their ability levels. Weekly lessons will last a minimum of 2 hours. Children who are weaker in one or more subjects will be asked to join a 2.5 hour class. Other optional classes like paper classes and support classes take place every week and can be face to face or online. Cost is £30 per session. We also run Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning classes. They are every alternate week, Fridays, online and £30 per lesson. Additional lessons will be held in half-terms and holidays, which will not be mandatory.

Brief feedback can be given after every face to face weekly lesson, but detailed feedback is given once a month.

Notice Period: 12 weeks in writing. Failure to give us a notice will result in the deposit being forfeited.

Term dates:

Classes commence from September of the start of the academic year and run through half-terms and school holidays. Year 5 groups will only get Christmas and New Year and a week over Easter off. Additional lessons will be held in half-terms and holidays, which will not be mandatory. The syllabus will cover level 5 to level 6 of KS2 in English and Maths from September to May. From then on, to the exams, the students will be taken to level 7 of KS3.

Homework:

Homework is set through Dropbox by email after every session. Year 5 students can expect to receive homework that will take them an hour a day, 5 days a week to complete. This will include Maths, a writing task and/or comprehension every week.

Homework marking service for Dropbox-based Maths and English worksheets: This service is available for those who want it and costs £10 per week.

From May of the academic year to the exams, homework will include practice Papers.

The groups will have term exams at the end of each term. Face-to-face and online Mock exams will be held at the end of each month from April to September of the academic year. Results and detailed feedback are emailed after every exam.

Missed lessons: Our classes run from Mondays to Sundays and have the same lesson plan. So, we will offer another session if there are further lessons that week. If there are no more sessions that week, you will still need to pay, but you will get the class notes and homework.
