YEAR 8 MATHS, ENGLISH SCIENCE & Computer SCIENCE

Year 8 Tuition offers Maths, English and Science subjects. Children have the opportunity to register for one subject, two subject or all three subjects. Our Programme is timetabled as such that giving the flexibility for selecting the subjects. Year 8 at tuition lays a solid foundation for the GCSE for children at a gradual but relaxed paced so that at the crucial stages of their education milestones children are confident and ready for the challenges. Those who improve their core subjects at Year 8 have a higher probability to be selected for the higher set at year 10 compared to those who do not.
