Your child writes. We show them how to lift every piece.
A scholarship writing study lab for Years 5, 6 and 7. The marker reads the way an examiner does. The programme teaches the skills that improve the score.
Built by a former head of assessment.
Firstly, homework is very stressful. Lots of kids in my class get worried about it and some of them even cry.1 We already do six hours of school work every day and then we have to do more at home. That is not fair.

Show the evidence instead of claiming it
“Lots of kids” asks the principal to take your word for it. A specific detail is far harder to argue with.
Try it like this
Last term, four people in my class said they lost sleep over the Friday maths sheet.
We tell you exactly where they are.
Five areas, scored against the year level. Ideas, structure, language, sentence control, and the craft of the task. Your child sees words. You see numbers. Both of you see exactly which skill to work on.

We show them exactly what to change.
Three improvements, quoted from their own writing. Nothing that already works gets touched. Then a version of their piece, one step up, that they can actually reach. Not a perfect answer. A reachable one.
We give them the practice that matters.
A prompt every day, with a picture or a scenario to write from. A skill module each week, matched to the area with the most room to grow. A plan that reshapes as their writing changes. On paper when the exam is on paper. About ninety minutes a week.

After three pieces, we see what you can’t.
One piece is a snapshot. Three is a pattern. We read across everything your child has written and find the habits that are costing marks.
The plan reshapes around these patterns. So does the weekly email to you.
Patterns across 5 pieces
Lots of kids ...
Some scientists ...
Many people ...
A lot of students ...
Ollie reaches for a vague group every time he needs evidence.
Four of five pieces do this. Replacing one of these with a real example is the single change that would lift the score.
Walk in already knowing what the room looks like.
Two exam simulations on paper, under full conditions. In the final weeks, your child practises handwritten, because that’s how the exam is sat. A readiness report shows where they started and where they are.
We don’t predict results. We don’t claim to change them. Familiarity and composure are what practice gives a child. That’s what we sell.

Keep the spelling and punctuation exactly as your child wrote it.
Photograph handwritten pages
Handwritten is better practice. Print the template, write on it, photograph it flat.
