Lessons in the Post

Most junior schools in the country are under-resourced and find it impossible to offer every child the individual attention and support it deserves. Parents naturally want to get involved in helping their children with their schoolwork, but few know what to do or when to do it.

Jo Marchant, the founder of Lessons in the Post, has developed structured learning programmes for any child between 7 and 11. Lessons in the Post gives parents everything they need to work with their children at home to supplement their school work, along with full guidance and support.

Each week of the school term your child will receive, in the post, a lesson plan with worksheets. Your child will have been assessed so the level will be just right. The worksheets are well presented and fun to do. They are structured so your child progresses at a steady and sustainable pace. It is not all pushing forward - revision and consolidation are equally crucial. Further assessments will monitor progress, and you will see your child develop before your eyes. Sitting and working with your child for just half an hour each weekday will be enough, and you will be doing different things every day, covering all the basics of Mathematics and English.

By following this programme parents can help their children achieve success and fulfilment. This could mean getting into the top sets at a comprehensive school, or, for some, winning a place at a selective grammar school or a scholarship to an independent school.
