Its that time again...GSCE Revision & Exam prep, SATS booster and Common entrance exam prep


One of my clients, Knights Tutoring London, runs a Tutoring Workshop every half term break for 5 days for children aged 7-16 years (KS2,KS3 & KS4) There are 10 Tutoring sessions over 5 days, you can book one or all 10.


Miss Knight, Director, has asked me to give you a 10% off discount code- "welcome10" to enter at checkout.

There's also a really simple competition as well, to win a full weeks Tutoring place(10 sessions)- just state why you think your child would benefit from attending the workshops. The entry form is on every page in a black box.


A little bit of info: Every child has an initial assessment and is given an "Individual Learning Package"

Fuul week and half week students also get back to school support for 7 days via phone and email PLUS a full report with targets set against their own levels and National Curriculum Standards


For more info or if you would like to speak to Miss Knight call 07931 822051. or go to their website http://knightstutoringlondon.co.uk/

Yes you are correct, but I was only quoting the tutor-teachers refer to the breaks as "half terms" (apparently) LOL

Thanks for all the comments made on this post and the interesting debate that may come from my response!


I just came off a call to Miss Knight and she stated that it's now over 70 ED parents have entered the competition.


She also said that she agrees with the fact that children should have a break and play (I too,strongly agree) however there is clearly a need for external education support(hence her Tutor school set up- she is a teacher in a main srteam school term time)She said that she has had a number of mums on the consultation call expressing how little support their child is receiving, even after continual requests to teachers and schools for help. Some of these mums have been in tears, whilst talking about the pressures their child and ultimately the parents are under within the education system today. The last competition winner is a prime example of this. You can read her story here http://knightstutoringlondon.co.uk/stellas-success-story-amazing/


There are other parents who just want to enrol for GCSE Revision support-they feel they are ensuring that their child is supported through a challenging exam prep time.For others the children themselves have requested to return to the workshops as they were such fun (my daughter included)They make new friends and realise that learning can actually be fun!


There are many children who have progressed dramatically through attending only a few workshops, by being given the right support or working with the child's individual learning style. It can take only one adult to make a huge difference in a child's life be it educationally or otherwise.. I think we should also be mindful that it is very challenging for teachers to support every single child individually, especially as there is also a lot of pressure on them too. There are many reasons why a child would or could benefit from attending a workshop: extra support,parents unable to support because the methodology has completely changed since they learnt a subject, illness, just changed schools, moved area, parents with mental health problems etc. These issues are not experienced by parents based on class or,educational background - just life.

And finally... I think that as parents, we should be extremely grateful if our children are doing well at school and are able to enjoy their holidays without worrying about going back to school. Unfortunately, this is not the case for all families, so should we judge these parents for entering a competition, when we have no idea what is going on in their lives? I would like to think that we would embrace the opportunity of a possibility of free or discounted educational support for those who may need it most.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.

      He's probably in his 70s, just doing a few more bits of work for his clients, many now deceased (ie executing their wills) who will be in their 90s. Everyone else who is younger than 90 will do their research and not use him,

      Xmas lunch at local pubs/restaurants?

      By Pugwash · Posted

      I suppose we are lucky that our daughters both drive so do not have alcohol when they are with us.  I start my Christmas food shopping in October, when prices are generally lower. Turkey Crown from Iceland, gammon from Sainsbury's, get put into freezer as do any other bits and pieces i.e. prawns/seafood. Fruit and veg from Aldi nearer the time,. Having 3 vegetarians plus a gluten intolerant, I make much of the other food stuff including desserts. Aldi's version of Baileys is half the price, plus beers and ciders are good value. Neither of us are wine drinkers We generally have fish or vegetarian based food from Marks plus a dessert, I suppose I have always been a careful shopper - I was a single parent for many years where all my wages went to paying the mortgage leaving around £10 a week for food and other bills. My work colleagues used to mock me when I said that a chicken would last us all the week ending up boiling up bones to make a soup base. Old habits die hard even when you have a bit more in your pocket to spend.
