How it works

Select the date of the workshop and your child’s current year group. Children are registered through the website by booking and paying for the workshop.

You will receive an email a few days before the booked date with details about the workshop.

Children will receive their booklets at the start of the week. These booklets are filled with exercises and writing tasks to complete as a group and individually throughout the course of the week.

Booklets are marked over the course of the week and children will then take these home on the final day. The marking and feedback within the booklets is extensive and will give you a good indication of the areas in which your child excelled and where they may need improvement. You will also have the chance to talk to the teacher at pick-up, provided you arrive on time.
