ST JOSEPH’S SCHOOL
St Joseph’s School in Launceston is a small Independent Day School founded in 1915, which is in the process of becoming fully co-educational by 2014. In response to this, the School has recently experienced one of its most successful periods to date. In September 2010 boys were accepted for the first time into Year 7 when, after a lengthy review, it became evident that only a move to co-education throughout the School would equip all the pupils with the life skills needed to achieve the excellent standards expected of them. In March 2011, the School won the Independent Schools Association’s most coveted award, the Award for Excellence. The citation reads: ‘In recognition of outstanding public examination attainment in 2009 and 2010, excellent Key Stage 2 results, National recognition for music and ballet, contribution to the community through charitable fund- raising, high achievements in individual and team sports, success at all levels in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme and a significant rise in pupil numbers’. Then in November 2011, the School won the Outstanding Progress Award at the Education Business Awards in London. This was a particularly prestigious achievement as the School had been identified independently of any nomination and included Schools in both the private and public sectors. Head Teacher, Mrs Rowe said ‘The awards reflect continued outstanding GCSE and Key Stage 2 results as well as top sporting and musical achievements. We have now built a team of pupils, parents, staff and Governors who all work towards achieving, and sustaining, the quality education and outstanding pastoral care that we provide. Many of our classes are nearing capacity with more interest in Year 7 2012 than we have places for. It promises to be a very exciting year ahead.’ As a result of these successes, there is considerable demand for places in 2012 and 2013. The school welcomes visitors to share in its unique atmosphere. Taster days are available throughout the year and scholarship awards are also available for both Junior and Senior pupils. If you are interested in finding out more, please contact the Registrar, Rebecca Walker on 01566 772580 or via the website registrar@stjosephscornwall.co.uk
KELLY PREPARATORY SCHOOL
Kelly College Preparatory School are holding their next ‘Open Mornings’ on Friday 27th January and Friday 9th March 2012. Do come along to meet our staff and pupils and see our vibrant and exciting school, located in a stunning setting. Kelly College is a co-educational day and boarding school for children aged 3-18 years of age (Preparatory School 3-11 and Senior School 11-18). Boarding at Kelly College is also available for pupils in Years 3,4, 5 and 6 of the Prep School. The schools are on separate sites, less than a mile apart and the Prep School pupils are able to take full advantage of the facilities at Kelly College Senior School. The first few years of a child’s education are hugely important and should be a time of encouragement, excitement, stimulation and enrichment. At Kelly College Prep School our principal aim is to encourage the pursuit of excellence and the development of the whole person in a caring and supportive environment. We seek to instil in the children a sense of curiosity and confidence so that they can drive their own learning and make the most of their ability wherever it lies. The school’s ethos is to seek high academic standards whilst giving children a caring, happy and adventurous start to their education. We pride ourselves on having a welcoming family environment – our strong pastoral care is key. ‘Kelly Prep is a very happy, unpretentious school, which in it’s beautiful rural surroundings strives to inculcate a love of learning, a genuine sense of community within and without the school, an overall sense of decent and excellent preparation for the next stage’ – Good Schools Guide – December 2011. The Prep School has impressive facilities. There is a very well equipped laboratory for Science, a studio for Art and Design Technology, a music room with additional instrumental teaching rooms, a newly refurbished ICT suite and library as well as a Learning Development Unit. The school also has a ‘Family Lounge’ where parents are very welcome to come in for a coffee at drop off and pick up time. Sports facilities at the Prep School are excellent, with pupils also having access to the swimming pool, astroturf and gymnasium at the Senior School, as well as the Kelly Adventure Centre. For further information regarding their Open Mornings or you would like to arrange a visit please contact us: admin@kellycollegeprep.com, 01822 612919, www.kellycollegeprep.com
Angels
Do you feel your child is not reaching their full potential? Are they struggling with certain subjects? This can lead to a lack of confidence or even switching off completely; I have a proven track record that a 1-2-1 tuition programme can turn this around.
It is impossible for any classroom teacher to give individual attention throughout a lesson but I am able to support them by working on the exact areas where they feel your child needs extra help. I have been tutoring for many years now supporting children from surrounding Primary/Secondary schools, also working with Dyslexia and Autism.
• Some have come for the 11+ tuition , which I believe to be essential, as they will not have come across this kind of exam paper before and competition for a Grammar School place is now very high.
Enrolling now for 2013
The exam includes ‘Verbal Reasoning’, ‘Maths’ and ‘English’ papers and, in my experience, requires a full academic year of tuition to achieve maximum results from the student. Children take the exam in the January of Year 6 and should, therefore, begin tuition in the January of Year 5.
In the past I have had a 100% pass rate and would be able to give you my opinion early on in the programme. Please feel free to contact me to discuss tuition for your child. Students may come for Maths, English or 11 plus for whatever reason.
