As thoughts start to turn to Summer and further ahead to the new School year in September, now is the very best time to think about setting your child up for success in their next academic year.
At Kip McGrath Derby South, Sue & Dave recommend booking an English and maths educational assessment for your child before September arrives. This provides you with valuable insights into where your child stands in their academic journey and helps set them up for a successful school year.
1. Identifying current learning strengths and gaps
A Kip McGrath educational assessment before the start of the academic year will identify current strengths and any learning gaps that your child may have. The gaps can be particularly significant in subjects like English and maths, as they often build upon prior knowledge. These outcomes allow us to pinpoint areas where they might need additional support. Addressing these gaps early will result in them enjoying their best school year yet.
2. Individual educational plans
Once you have a clear understanding of your child’s strengths and areas where they need support, we will work together to tailor an educational plan that is specific to their needs. This personalised approach helps your child excel in the areas where they are strong and improve in the areas where they’re not currently thriving.
3. Early intervention
Early intervention is key. By identifying learning gaps and challenges before the school year begins, your child can receive the support they need right from the start. This can involve getting them help at Kip, using educational resources, or seeking assistance from their school’s support services. The sooner these interventions occur, the more effective they will be in helping your child succeed.
4. Boosting confidence
Confidence plays a significant role in a child’s academic success. If a child enters the school year with a solid foundation in English and maths, they are more likely to feel confident and ready to tackle new challenges in all their subjects, setting a positive tone for the school year.
5. Parental involvement
When you are aware of your child’s strengths and areas where they might need support, you can take steps to actively help them.
Booking a Kip McGrath English and maths educational assessment for your child before the start of the school year is an important step in ensuring their academic success. It provides the necessary insights to identify learning gaps, tailor educational plans, align with the national curriculum, intervene early, boost confidence, and encourage parental involvement.
By taking this proactive approach, you are helping your child embark on an educational journey with a strong foundation in English and maths that will set them on a path to realise their full potential for many years to come.
Support your child to start the school year 2025/26 strongly!
