Thank you for enrolling your child with us. We look forward to supporting and helping them to gain the confidence to reach their potential and succeed in overcoming challenges with learning. We hope your child will enjoy our multi-sensory approach to teaching and find it an accessible and engaging way to learn.
Subjects
- Primary: English and mathematics may be combined in one session, however this will depend on the individual
- Secondary: Science, English and mathematics, one subject per session (60/90 minutes).
Session times and dates
One hour and 1.5-hour sessions are available.
Educational games
We use educational games during the session to support learning. These include comprehension, spelling, punctuation, reading and maths. Students will have an opportunity to play with up to two students (some games may be played individually). This multi-sensory approach to learning, provides a fun and tactile experience and helps to develop important skills and build confidence.
Software to support learning (optional)
Students will have access to various specialist software during their session to help with their learning. Supporting activities can be added to enable your child to complete tasks prior to their session to support their understanding of the topic.
Logins are available to purchase to enable students to continue to learn at home, this is highly recommended to support our teaching approach. Extra activities and homework can be accessed digitally (logins are valid for one year / deactivated if your child withdraws). Your child can learn from anywhere, anytime. A parent account can be created to enable you to be involved in your child’s learning. We often run competitions (prizes for regular users) to encourage students to log in at home and complete additional activities.
Doodle Learning
We use Doodle English, Spell, Maths and Tables to support students (up to KS3) with their learning. A DoodleLearning login is issued to students at the start of term and is a core part of their learning programme. The software generates personalised learning programmes tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of each child and is designed to enhance teaching and learning. DoodleLearning provides daily opportunities to work on strengths and weaknesses (we recommend around 10 minutes per day) and learn new topics. Additional work can be added to support difficult areas.

It helps to identify gaps in learning and make recommendations to help your child achieve their best. Ed Place tailors the experience to your child’s level, helping them build confidence.
