Year 4 and Year 5 pathways
A connected small-group pathway for pupils in and around Cheam. We teach the foundations first, add exam technique at the right moment and use each assessment to decide what comes next.
Build the vocabulary, number fluency and reasoning habits that later exam work depends on.
Turn secure knowledge into accurate, efficient performance across English and maths.
Rehearse full paper conditions, review the evidence and sharpen the next priority.
For enrolled families
Programme pages explain what we teach. Parent Hub gives each family the personal view: weekly priorities, completed review, progress evidence and the next sprint.

Children do not need full mock papers before their core skills are ready. Each stage has a distinct job, with movement driven by confidence and evidence rather than the calendar alone.
For pupils who need strong academic habits and a richer base before selective preparation becomes more timed and exam-specific.
For pupils ready to combine curriculum depth with selective question styles, purposeful timing and increasingly independent paper strategy.
The BrightSET teaching loop
Each learning cycle ends with a specific next action. Families know what is improving, pupils know what to practise and tutors know what to revisit.
Model the idea clearly and name the method a pupil can reuse.
Move from supported examples to independent questions.
Separate knowledge gaps from timing, method and misreading.
Return to priorities until the better approach becomes automatic.
When skills meet exam conditions
Year 5 pupils can add weekly Exam Sprints when full-paper timing and composure become the priority. Recent sprint evidence can also identify where an individual focus session would help.
