Master Classes Science Mentoring

How we will help your child

Master Classes

If we identify someone who is struggling with a particular science subject we will increasingly invite them to master classes for these subjects.

Science Mentoring

Students who need more support will be assigned a science mentor who will set your child bespoke targets to help them improve.

We will inform you if your child is identified for one of these groups.
