UP+ English & Maths

A personalised programme combining one-to-one English and Maths tutoring with Urban Pursuit activities, helping students build confidence and re-engage with learning.

About the programme

Our UP+ programme is the perfect balance of academic learning alongside a classic Urban Pursuit activity filled afternoon. It allows students who may find the mainstream classroom setting overwhelming, access personalised learning, building on their academic confidence.

 

What’s involved

50 minutes of 121 tutoring in the core subjects of English and Maths lead by trained teachers. Each session is personalised for each student allowing them to learn at their own pace in a style which suits them.

 

Success so far


“It’s great! It’s really helped with my knowledge and confidence in school”


We’ve already had huge successes in the programme and are looking to expand our places in the oncoming terms.

 

Why it matters
  • Building confidence to access learning in a personalised manner
  • Supportive relationships built in a trusting environment
  • Breaking down barriers and helping students work towards age related expectation
