We ran a one-day GCSE booster programme for 45 Westminster City School and St John Bosco College pupils over the October half-term. Topics included English, Maths and Physics. We ran three concurrent sessions catering for pupils in need of stretch and challenge and those in need of additional support.
Sessions were run by Emanuel School staff. The sessions went very well – the pupils were enthusiastic about the teaching approach and the opportunity to consolidate their learning. We plan to run a 3-day booster session over the Easter holidays for both schools again. We are currently exploring collaborating with Putney High School to enable us to reach more pupils in need of support.
