Year 4 Assessment

  • An at-home paper (sent via email) is to be completed and returned to Kate for marking and initial feedback. This paper is designed to assess what has (and hasn’t) been covered at school to date.

  • A group session in the spring of Year 4, where students do a timed piece of work under Kate’s observation. A feedback report from this session is also provided, before parents decide to if they wish to commit to a course space.

    Please note - there is absolutely no obligation to continue with the course after the assessment process is complete.

    Cost: £99 (payable upon Assessment Registration)

The FSL Course Includes

FSL Course Part 1 - Teaching Phase

  • Optional work (books + emailed worksheets) in the summer of Year 4 through to Christmas of Year 5, to get the ball rolling

  • Small group lessons during term time (6 -10 students per group) from January - July of Year 5 (if the students start lessons any sooner than this, they are likely to get sick of the work and 'burn out’. From my experience, it’s best to begin after they’ve had a rest over the Christmas holidays, and are fresh and ready to start in the New Year)

  • Individual feedback report, detailing your child’s progress, emailed weekly (see a mid-course example here)

  • Optional homework in the Easter and half term breaks

  • 1 x Mid-Term Mock in April of Year 5, to reassess the children and get them used to longer papers

  • Access to the FSL Foundation (Year 4/5) and Higher Level (Year 5/6) Vocabulary courses on the app Memrise (from May of Year 4)

  • ALL exclusive materials and papers, with no hidden extras!

FSL Course Part 2 - Revision and Testing Phase

  • 3x Mock Exam Sessions + Feedback Score Reports (scheduled throughout the summer holidays, one every fortnight). These are held Ashley Green Memorial Hall, for authentic test experience, using exclusive materials (written by Kate)

  • The FSL Summer Pack - six weeks’ worth of exclusive, timetabled work scheduled for the end of the summer term, the summer holiday, and the week prior to 11+ exam

  • 3 x Drop-In Sessions with Kate (scheduled around the Mock Exam sessions, to help with exam preparation and test corrections, maximum 8 students per session)

  • 2 x Review Sessions with Kate (scheduled in the week before the exam, aimed at revisiting exam technique, dicussing how best to deal with nerves, and revising tricky topics)
