Consultations

Is my child ready for the next stage?

If you are teaching a child in Year 4 to Year 9, a consultation call is required before booking or enrolling. As learning becomes more complex, writing increases, maths becomes more abstract, and small gaps can grow if they are missed. The consultation ensures learning is matched correctly, confidence is protected, and next steps are clear before moving forward. This is not a test for your child. It is a professional check designed to support progress and prevent unnecessary struggle.

What will be looked at during the consultation

The focus is readiness rather than perfection. Depending on your needs, this may include maths understanding, a short piece of independent writing, spelling and vocabulary checker, subject knowledge where relevant, and learning habits such as stamina and confidence. After the call, you will receive clear guidance and practical next steps tailored to your child and your home education context, whether that means enrolling now or strengthening first.

How does this fit our longer term plans?

The consultation also looks beyond the next term to make sure decisions support your wider goals. This may include

✓ ongoing home education

✓ future transitions into school

✓ entrance exams such as 11 plus or reasoning tests

✓ balancing learning with music, sport, or other commitments

After the consultation, you will know exactly where you stand and what to do next. Choose the consultation that fits your situation and book your call.
