Lucas was so much more confident and calmer…I think his improved writing strategies helped him improve in other subjects as well.
Kyle has done really well in his GCSEs and we are really proud of him! His English results were astounding! Thank you for all your hard work.
'She helps me extraordinarily and I wouldn't be able to do the work as easily without her!'...out of the mouths of babes.
