Creative Writing and Reasoning Summer Course – Dulwich

This is week two of our highly successful, annual 7 Plus Summer Schools. These take place over the final two weeks of August. They focus on one subject in the morning with another subject in the afternoon with the option for interview technique from 3.30pm-5pm each day (£200 extra). The courses were written by our Director of Education, who was Head of Maths at a competitive prep school in North London. All sessions are taught by subject experts with significant 7 plus experience.

Our summer courses are an excellent way to refocus learning and boost motivation after the summer break, such that children hit exam season running. Week two offers an excellent opportunity for your child to deepen their understanding of Creative Writing and Reasoning.
