The team at Launch is composed of experienced teachers and senior leaders, who lead phases, subjects and assessment areas in their primary schools. Our mission remains simple: to confidently address learning differences in each student and allow them to excel in a uniquely personalised learning environment. We do not offer generic lessons; our sessions are designed around the students that we teach and their respective starting points. As parents of primary-aged pupils, we are aware of how Covid-19 has affected our young people. Through small-group sessions, we seek to bridge the gap in learning that it has left behind and help our pupils to achieve whatever their educational goals might be. How we start Firstly, it is important that we get to know each child as an individual. We offer free of charge assessments of your child's reading fluency, reading comprehension and mathematics prior to starting. This allows us to plan for progression in each and every session that the child attends, right from day one. English We begin with our youngest learners by working on each child's understanding and application of phonics. We develop this so that pupils can read fluently with the right emphasis and expression and use their working memory on comprehending the text rather than trying to decode each individual word. Within our English sessions for Year 3 and 4 children, we work to develop the many strands that weave together to make a skilled reader. We develop each child's sight recognition, decoding and phonological awareness to optimise their reading fluency. We also focus on advancing background knowledge, language and literacy awareness and verbal reasoning to improve comprehension. This is all done within fun group sessions that will foster a love of reading. As we move into Year 5, some pupils may choose to focus these skills towards the GL 11+ test used in all Birmingham grammar schools (from this year) whilst continuing to enjoy our learning and expand our knowledge of the world. Others drive on towards their SATS in bespoke workshops.
Mathematics Within each maths lesson, we aim to give the children the opportunity to learn and practise new skills, embed this new learning through application to different contexts and then reason and problem solve. We use practical and pictorial models to ensure that learning is embedded and retained before we move on to a new topic. In year 5, pupils who will sit the 11+ entrance exams will add the focus of non-verbal reasoning to their maths sessions as we focus the children on content that they will meet in the GL 11+ papers. |
