Milda highlights the importance of the student interacting with different styles and genres of English in their day-to-day life, and suggests ways of ensuring that the language learning is not limited to the classroom.

Following enquiries from a number of parents, we are delighted to inform you that during the October half-term and the Christmas holidays we will be running Mathematics and English mock examinations for pupils who are preparing to sit 11+ entrance examinations to independent schools this January.

The mock examinations are modelled on 11+ entrance examination papers to independent schools in the area.

Having run these 11+ mock examinations for the last two years, we have collected comparable scores for students and their subsequent secondary school destinations.

The mocks will take place at our premises in Elstree (5 Theobald Court, Theobald Street, WD6 4RN).

The students will have the opportunity to sit a different Mathematics mock examination paper and an English mock examination paper each day.

With over 160 students attending our group lessons, we were very excited to include our brand new Trefoil hoodies in this year's student welcome packs! The new piece of merchandise is certainly not a compulsory uniform; however, we do hope they will keep you warm in the coming autumn months.

On Sunday, the 9th of September, we held our Tutor Induction Day and welcomed five new tutors to our team. We are delighted to have Shrina and Kyal joining us as Economics tutors, Neil and Meghna as Science tutors, and Nikhil tutoring Mathematics and Physics. After a careful selection process from over 50 applications, we are glad to recommend the five new tutors to students looking for one-to-one lessons in their specialist subjects. During the tutor induction, the new tutors received training on key pedagogical concepts later covered in our Professional Development Programme, and underwent a detailed review of our Code of Conduct.

On Friday, the 24th of August, we hosted our first advice evening for A-level students and their parents on the topic of applying to universities and writing a good personal statement. The workshop was run by Vivek Gathani, our lead Mathematics tutor and a former UCAS advisor at Haberdashers’ Aske’s Boys’ School.

The fourteen participants of the workshop received advice about the application process and looked into the specifics of writing a good personal statement for their UCAS applications. After discussing the content and language of personal statement, parents and students had a chance to brainstorm ideas for their own personal statement, as well as ask questions and discuss the intricacies of successfully applying to particular universities with Vivek.

Thanks to everyone who attended and best of luck with writing your applications!

Today, we are very excited to welcome a team of five interns who will be joining us for the rest of the summer. The interns, selected from a pool of applicants of outstanding mathematicians, will be supporting our lead Mathematics tutor Vivek in his preparations for the upcoming academic year.

Welcome!

Having concluded the academic year, on the 14th of July, we invited our tutors and all those who supported us throughout the year to our annual Trefoil BBQ party as a way to say thank you and celebrate the start of the summer break.

A day full of chatter, good food and games was a great way to end the year. We would like to say a big thank you to all our guests and wish you a lovely summer!

To mark the end of the academic year, on the 29th of June, we invited the parents of our pupils to our first Parents’ Social Evening as a way of saying thank you for their support throughout the year.

Held at Blue Ginger restaurant, the evening was a lovely way to get to know the parents of our students better and enjoy an evening of great food and interesting conversations. Parents also took part in a quiz our tutors had prepared for the evening.

We would like to thank all the parents that attended the social evening and wish you all a relaxing summer!
