Why KS3 matters

There are no national assessments in Years 7 to 9, so KS3 is the low-pressure window to secure foundations before GCSE courses begin.

Moving up from primary

Year 7 brings new teachers, more subjects and more independence. Tuition gives children one consistent place to ask questions and keep up.

Study skills

Organisation, revision habits and homework confidence that carry through to GCSE.
