Free Experience Day at Thorpe Hall School for all Year 4 children
Thorpe Hall School is revolutionising the primary education offering in South-East Essex, with its innovative “Expect More” provision in Years 5 and 6.
Stephen Duckitt, Headteacher says this new programme gives children a head start and a clear advantage for Senior school, and beyond.
“Our Expect More programme encourages children to embrace new challenges, giving them the confidence, skills and independence they need to achieve more. It shows them what’s possible when they “Expect More” from their school and from themselves”
The school is inviting all local Year 4 students to its upcoming Expect More Experience Day (20th April), to get a flavour of Years 5 & 6 life at Thorpe Hall. Those interested can find out more on their website.
Thorpe Hall School, Southend, provides award-winning independent education for children aged 2 to 16. In recent years, its “raising standards” agenda has seen tremendous benefits for all its students. This latest introduction combines innovative programmes, diverse clubs, dedicated support, and access to extensive facilities and specialised teachers, providing a significant ‘step up’ in these year groups.
Children in Years 5 & 6 at Thorpe Hall School are taught by specialist teachers for 100% of lessons – just like in secondary education. Class sizes are small: an average of 15 pupils. Each child receives personal attention, and teachers can seamlessly cater to different learning styles and abilities.
Grammar school candidates, for example, receive in-class, tailored support and challenges, as well as free 11+ tutoring and coaching outside school hours at no additional cost. Thorpe Hall is committed to giving its 11+ candidates the best chance of gaining a grammar school place, or a place in its own ‘THS Grammar Plus’ stream.
