A genuinely individual plan
No two children arrive with the same strengths—or need the same route.
Some pupils need to slow down and read more carefully. Others need stronger number fluency, greater writing confidence or better routines under time pressure.
We identify the priorities, teach them explicitly and review them regularly. That means time is spent where it can make the greatest difference.
