Back to School in 2021
As a parent, you will already be thinking about your child returning to school for the start of the new academic year. The past 18 months have been full of uncertainties and disrupted education. How is your son or daughter feeling themself? Are they confident they can step back in to school and hit the ground running? Are you worried they might be behind where you would like them to be academically? Would you like to take positive action in this area? The new term in 2021 should deliver a more consistent level of school attendance, as a result of the application of medical science. At Kip McGrath in Derbyshire we understand how you feel. We have worked with children exactly like yours for more than 40 years. Our Kip strategy will result in them taking major strides forward. At Kip, we always set meaningful goals and deliver engaging, high-quality lessons, focused on the students individual needs. Our sessions create confident, independent learners who go on to achieve their highest potential. Is your desire for your child for them to be one of these students back in school? Use the start of a new academic term 2021 to find out how Kip McGrath can help to realise your child’s full potential. It’s a decision that thousands of parents just like you have already taken. Their amazing testimonies provide us with the motivation to continue to change Derbyshire’s young peoples’ lives for the better.
“Kip is making a big difference and she’s made really good progress since her lessons started. She’s also moved up in spelling which she’s really happy about.“
“My son has improved 2 years in his reading age in approximately 6 months and has gone from a reluctant reader to a reader who is enthusiastic and confident.
I didn’t have the skills to help my son and using Kip McGrath is the best decision I have made in my son’s education.”
