Primary Times Buckinghamshire &Milton Keynes EDUCATION AND TUITION At First Class Learning, children learn tosucceed. The foundation of achild’s success starts at avery young age -learning to speak, learning to read and write, learning to count. The two subjects that underpin successful learning, more than any others, are Maths and English. What achild learns when young in Maths and English is fundamental to their future and the child who is confident in these two subjects can carry that confidence over to other areas of the curriculum. The Westcroft and Broughton First Class Learning Centres are run by experienced, qualified teachers that give children, who attend local schools in these areas, the opportunity to improve their Maths and English ON YOUR skills through the medium of MARKS.

Primary Times Buckinghamshire &Milton Keynes Pen &Ink School Places This year there has been ahuge concern about the number of school places for secondary schools. That has meant that many people have not got the first school of their choice. It is vital that Parents check the entry requirements of the schools they would like their child to attend. But first take your child to all the schools and do have agood look at the facilities and in particular at the ethos of the school. How will they cope, will they thrive if they are at this particular school? All of this will enable you to make good choices about whether having tuition for 11+ is going to be beneficial.
