The 150-minute format
A serious paper.
A useful review.
The session protects enough time for two complete 50-minute papers and still gives pupils space to understand what happened before they leave.
English paper
Comprehension, vocabulary, inference and accuracy under time pressure.
Reset break
A proper pause before pupils switch subject and refocus.
Maths paper
Multi-step reasoning, arithmetic fluency and efficient working.
Coached review
Work through high-value questions, identify patterns and set the next target.
More than another mock
Every paper earns its place.
Random practice creates activity. A connected weekly cycle creates progress. Each sprint feeds the next lesson, the next paper and the next parent update.
Explore teaching programmesQuestion-level diagnosis
We record not only whether an answer was wrong, but why: knowledge gap, misread, weak method or time pressure.
Sutton-focused practice
Papers build the English, maths and timing demands pupils need for the local SET and second-stage journey.
Responsive grouping
Children work alongside pupils at a similar stage. Groups can shift as confidence and scores develop.
Review that changes behaviour
Pupils correct selected questions, name the better method and leave with one clear focus for the next week.
A repeatable monthly rhythm
Practise with a purpose.
The focus changes each week, while the reporting format stays consistent enough for progress to be easy to understand.
