We know how much you want your child to have every opportunity, and it can be worrying when you see the high standards for English at schools like The King's.

We know that focused support can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades. More than that, the skills they'll develop – from crafting a persuasive argument to understanding complex texts – will give them confidence in every subject and in their future career.
