All these courses are delivered face to face in small groups capped at 8 children, in the Evolving Planes classroom. They facilitate KS2, KS3 and GCSE levels of working in key areas of English and grammar for home educated children. Each course has its own homework structure and feedback is given on any work submitted. They all run September to June on a Tuesday, with the exception of the GCSE course which runs up to the exams in May.
