Daffodil Preparatory School

A Community of Passionate Educators and Learners

About

About image
In line with our corporate goals and objectives, Daffodil Preparatory School supports learners from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 5 with a focus on individual specific areas of strength and challenges.  The support is consistent with the UK national curriculum subjects and given in the form of additional learning opportunities to enhance learner achievement.

Furthermore, tuition support is individual specific and therefore the learners have their learning needs catered for in terms of their strengths and areas of challenge as identified from initial assessments tests.

The pre-university learning journey is quite challenging and therefore requires planning and the setting of goals for the individual learner, the pursuance of which should enhance learner achievement over their learning journey.

Learners have the opportunity to register for tuition support and guidance from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 to prepare for their GCSEs and IGCSEs; and then register for further support to prepare them for their GCE AS and A levels.

Daffodil Preparatory School will also provide support for learners identified as presenting with learning challenges and upon assessment will have the relevant support designed to support and enhance their access to the curriculum. The tutoring will be tailored to their specific needs to help them overcome their specific learning challenges.

Courses

KEY STAGE 2

Learners studying at Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 have opportunity to register for tailored tuition support in their individual specific areas of strengths and challenges. This should enhance their abilities in reading, maths, spelling, punctuation and grammar and also be ready for the KS2 SATs. Learners with the ambition to progress to Grammar schools will therefore have a better chance as they will be engaged in activities which enhance learner preparedness to achieve the required standards for entry. Subjects offered: • English • Maths

KEY STAGE 3

Learners studying at Years 7, 8 and 9 have opportunity to register for bespoke learning support over the first three years of the secondary school education. Our specialised tutors will engage with learners to identify each learner’s areas of need and design tutoring methods in line with the outcomes of initial assessment tests for each learner. Subjects offered: • English • Maths • Science

KEY STAGE 4

Learners studying at Years 10 and 11 have the opportunity to register for bespoke tuition support and coaching to enhance their achievement at their GCSEs and IGCSEs. The support offered at this stage is more intense and prepares learners on the GCSE and IGCSE assessment expectations. Achievement at higher GCSE grades requires awareness of the examination and assessment expectations and enables the learner to focus and prepare, knowing what is required of them to achieve those higher grades. This is where our specialised tutors play a significant role in guiding and coaching learners to enhance their performance in their exams. Subjects Offered: • English • English Literature • Maths • Science • Economics • Law • Business Studies

MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Daffodil Preparatory School has a music department offering practical and theoretical support for learners in music specifically in relation to: • Violin • Cello • Piano • Organ • Saxophone • Trumpet The lessons will be offered at: • Beginners • Level 1 • and Level 2

KEY STAGE 5
