We are so excited to announce our Summer School lessons, to take place during August at Kip McGrath Derby South in Allenton! Summer is a time of fun but can also be an opportunity to continue to make academic progress. If your child has any difficulty with their reading, writing, English comprehension, mathematics, counting, or times tables, Kip Summer school is ideal to help them catch up or maintain skills until the new term starts.
Our Summer School this year will take place in centre or online, in August across these dates:
Week 1 | Tuesday 3rd August | Wednesday 4th August | Thursday 5th August |
Week 2 | Tuesday 10th August | Wednesday 11th August | Thursday 12th August |
Week 3 | Tuesday 17th August | Wednesday 18th August | Thursday 19th August |
Week 4 | Tuesday 24th August | Wednesday 25th August | Thursday 26th August |
The primary purpose of Summer School at Kip McGrath Derby South has always been to keep those young minds active over the school summer holidays, avoiding the much described “brain drain”. More so than ever this year, the opportunity is there not only to keep going, but also to catch up potential lost ground. Dave & Sue’s other key Kip strategy for 2021 is to give your child a head start for the new Autumn Term, commencing in September. It’s a one off opportunity to get your child ahead of their peers and to rebuild their confidence after 18 months of disrupted learning.
Kip McGrath Derby South have been around for 10 years, since 2011. We know what works best and have hundreds of testimonies highlighting successful outcomes. All of the successful Kip USP’s will be present during Summer School; qualified teachers, individual learning, unique resources, Ofsted registration and successful teaching methods developed over 40 years.
You don’t have to be a current Kip McGrath Derby South student to take advantage of our Summer School. We have an easy in and easy out pathway, ensuring that your child is able to maximise their time with us. At Kip, over the 4 weeks in August, we offer flexible (daytime) lesson times to suit you, offering our full range of classes, starting with Little Learners, through Get Ready for School, including the Primary KS1 and KS2 stages, culminating in GCSE and A Level preparation for Secondary students. If it’s the fundamentals of English and Maths (Literacy and Numeracy) that you’re looking for help with, Kip have the answer.
Enrolling your child with Kip Summer School 2021 could just be the best decision you make in respect of their school achievements. For Summer 2021, there’s the option of attending physically In Centre or attending via Kip Online, which offers an identical experience from the comfort of your own home. The choice is yours.
Some schools are actually offering summer schools to pupils for the first time this year; at Kip this is a routine event for us; parents explain the benefits to us every year. We know what it can do; make sure your child benefits for themselves this year.
You can book your child’s place by giving Sue a call on 01332 381127, by popping into the Centre on Osmaston Road in Derby, or by completing our website contact form below.
