HOME-SCHOOLING SUPPORT


 

If you’re home-schooling your child or you’re planning a move to home education, you may have worries about the elements of school that your child will miss. At our venue at The National Archives in Kew we can provide additional learning support, as well as the opportunity for your child to make friends with other children and enjoy a social environment as part of their home education plan.


All our programmes comply with the National Curriculum where relevant, and we have a wealth of experience of both the Primary and Secondary education systems and their requirements.

Our excellent teachers are fully-qualified and experienced, and deliver their lessons to the highest standard. They have the depth of skill necessary to be sensitive to your child’s needs and are perceptive in understanding the approach to adopt for each individual.

We pride ourselves on being extremely welcoming and friendly, creating a secure and happy environment for our pupils to learn in, dovetailing with their home-schooling. Our aim is to work in partnership with our pupils and you to build confidence and self-esteem, encourage self-discovery, break down any barriers to learning and help all children reach their potential.

I know H will always treasure her many fond memories of her time with you. She has been provided with such solid foundations that I know stand her in good stead for life going forward.”
