How support develops

Support changes shape as students grow, moving from guided teaching to clinics built around each student’s progress.

01Terms 1 & 2TeachingWeekly Maths and Science sessions in small groups of three to five, led by academic mentors. 60–90 minute sessions.
02Term 2Advisory supportEvery student has a one-to-one advisory meeting to build a personalised GCSE plan covering all their subjects, with one or two follow-ups each term to review progress and adjust their approach.
03Term 3 onwardsClinicsSessions become weekly 60-minute clinics. Students submit questions from their own study and revision, and mentors focus on exactly what each student needs.

Alongside the sessions

We teach students how to fish, rather than feeding them the fish: building the habits to plan, organise and study with intention, without relying on constant direction.

01Development workshopsSessions that train students to plan, organise and prepare for their GCSEs effectively, building strong study habits.
02Mock assessments & performance reviewsThree mock exam periods across the two years help students track progress and practise exam technique.
03Masterclasses beyond Maths & ScienceShort sessions in subjects such as English Language, English Literature, Geography and Computer Science, led by specialist teachers. Note: Masterclass schedule may differ cohort to cohort.
04Mentor discussion & guidanceRegular one-to-one conversations that give students space to talk things through, with mentors helping them explore their vision.
05Career & future impact guidanceNot only academic success, but aligning each student’s direction with their purpose and gifts to serve the Ummah.
