What makes it special

Detailed Writing Feedback

Written responses are marked with specific, constructive feedback on grammar, style, vocabulary, and argument.

Adaptive Difficulty

Reading, Writing & Speaking Tracked

Progress tracked across reading comprehension, written composition, and oracy — all mapped to curriculum objectives.

Learning doesn't stop at english

When your child asks a question or wants to explore something new, we turn it into a full lesson — or plan a learning adventure around a day out.
