Young Learners

English for children aged 6 to 12 — taught through stories, songs and games, in groups small enough that every child gets heard every week.

They think it is playtime. It is not.

Behind every game in our Saturday classes sits a language target. A treasure hunt drills prepositions; a puppet show rehearses question forms; story time plants vocabulary that resurfaces all week at home. Children are grouped in three age bands — 6–7, 8–9 and 10–12 — so activities always match attention spans.

  • Phonics and reading fluency woven into every session for the youngest band.
  • Show-and-tell each month — a tiny stage with a big confidence payoff.
  • A written progress note to parents every four weeks.
  • All lessons recorded, so a missed Saturday is never a lost Saturday.
For parents

What you can expect from us

Safety first

Two staff members present at all times, sign-in and sign-out at the door, and a parents' waiting corner with decent coffee.

Honest reporting

Our monthly notes tell you what your child can actually do — not a row of gold stars. If progress stalls, we call you first.

No homework wars

Home practice is ten minutes of games on paper, designed to be asked for rather than fought over.

Your child joins a real class for one session while you watch. If they leave smiling and chattering, you will know.
