Prep for Year 7 Group Classes

Our Prep for Y7 classes will start in January 2026 and run until July 2026 and are open to students in Year 6. We aim to introduce early elements of the KS3 curriculum in a fun and interactive way, aiming to close the gap between primary and secondary education. Home-educated and school-educated students are welcome to join us. We have been running this course for the past four years and past students have found the transition to secondary education easier by exploring Y7 concepts early and in a relaxed environment online.

These classes include a CGP Year 7 Workbook for all three subjects and a topic list that all students are sent and we welcome students to join us throughout the course but our course usually fills up before we begin.

For this year - Our CGP books will be sent out early January 2026.

Classes are £20ph (no more than 6 students) and includes all resources sent in the post. Classes run for 90 minutes - £30 per session. Missed lessons are chargable but all recordings are sent and homework is added to your lesson report.

Please email us if you’d like to register your interest.

For 2026, classes will start from Saturday 10th January 2026, during term-time only and run for 24 weeks. We’ll be finished in time for the summer holidays. We’ll meet online, via Zoom every Saturday from 11:30am-1pm.
