Our KS2 - KS3 Transition classes provide the ideal preparation for children as they approach the transition to Secondary education. Classes alternate between Maths and English each week.

Maths :

Maths classes look at developing a clinical approach to problem-solving. Children are encouraged to show thorough and meticulous workings out.

Topics include ratio, percentages, fractions, algebra, probability, area/volume and complex worded questions. Children are equipped with a rounded understanding of how to tackle Maths questions in a clear, organized manner.

Through developing a systematic approach to mathematical problem solving, children gain the tools they need to be effective mathematicians at Secondary level.

English :

English classes are fun and engaging. These classes are balanced between a detailed focus on technical skills (spelling, punctuation and grammar) and developing the vital tools of analysis that allow children to gain effective comprehension skills.

We also cover six types of creative writing (story, newspaper report, play script, letter, leaflet and diary) where children build a love of language and learn of the considerable power that they hold when the pen is in their grasp!

Whilst classes are great for preparing children for the SATs exams that they will sit in Year 6, they are also taught the core fundamentals that make them productive learners for the long term. This ensures a seamless transition to Secondary school.
