Pam P
Experienced Admissions Primary Tutor
I am a semi- retired Primary School teacher. I have worked with all age groups in the Primary setting and have a specialised knowledge in the teaching of reading. To keep up to date with the changes in the curriculum I take on some supply work. Over the years I have been tutoring I have helped many pupils reach there full potential. I believe in an individual approach as no two children are the same. This cannot be achieved by the big centres offering only one way of learning.I have taught children who struggle to read, increasing reading age dramatically over a short time and have helped children...

Alice A
Admissions Primary Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Do your tutors have experience with the primary school admissions process?

Yes. We have many tutors, including experienced teachers and educational consultants, who are deeply familiar with the UK's school admissions system. You can view their profiles and message them before booking to ensure they are the right fit for your specific questions.

What happens if I'm not happy with my first session?

We want you to feel confident in your choice. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't feel the tutor is the right match for you, just email support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover the cost of that first session.

Can a tutor help my child prepare for starting Reception as well?

Absolutely. Many of our primary-level tutors specialise in Early Years education. They can work with your child on school readiness skills like phonics, number recognition, and social skills to ensure a confident start to Reception.

Is it true that I should only list one school to show how serious I am?

This is a dangerous myth. The 'Equal Preference' system means schools don't know where you've ranked them. By only listing one school, you don't increase your chance of getting in, but you massively increase the risk of being allocated a place at any school with vacancies if you are unsuccessful.

How do I use my school preferences effectively? Does the order matter?

Yes, the order matters immensely. You should always list the schools in your true order of preference. The system will try to offer you your highest-ranked preference possible. Putting your 'catchment' or 'safest' school lower down your list will not harm your chances of getting a place there.

We live just outside our preferred school's catchment area. What are our chances?

A tutor can help you research this. They can show you how to find a school's historic A: admissions data on the Local Authority website, which often shows how far away the last admitted child lived in previous years. This gives you a realistic idea of your chances.

The school we want is a faith school. Do we need a letter from a vicar?

Often, yes. Faith schools have their own admissions criteria, which may prioritise children from families who practice the faith. This usually requires a 'Supplementary Information Form' (SIF) and supporting evidence, such as a letter from a priest or vicar confirming church attendance. A tutor can help you check the specific requirements for your chosen school.

How much should I rely on an Ofsted report versus the 'feel' of a school?

This is a common dilemma. An 'Outstanding' report is great, but it might be several years old. Your personal visit or open day experience gives you crucial insight into the school's current atmosphere, pastoral care, and whether it feels right for your child. A tutor can help you weigh these factors and decide what's most important for your family.

My child has potential special educational needs (SEN). How can I assess a school's support?

A great first step is to contact the school's Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) directly. During your visit, ask specific questions about their support strategies and experience with children who have similar needs to yours. A tutor with SEN experience can help you formulate these questions.

What happens if we don't get any of our preferred schools?

If you are not offered a place at any of your preferred schools, the Local Authority has a duty to offer your child a place at the nearest school with a vacancy after all other applications have been processed. This may not be a school you would have chosen.

Is it possible to win a school admissions appeal?

Appeals are challenging, especially for infant classes due to class size limits. However, they can be won if you can prove a mistake was made in the admissions process or that the reasons for your child to attend that specific school are exceptionally strong. A tutor can discuss the grounds for appeal with you.
