The summer holidays are almost upon us! As we all know, skills decline if they are not practised regularly and this is especially true of maths and English. During the long summer break, those children who do complete regular homework will not only maintain their skills but continue to develop them. This means that they will return to school in September feeling confident and ready to learn.

This summer we can offer an exciting new dimension to your child’s summer study. First Class Learning is working in partnership with EducationCity.com, a leading web-based teaching, learning and assessment resource. With its innovative and engaging activities, fully matched to the curriculum, EducationCity is widely used in schools.
Your child will have access to a wide range of learning games and exercises to support not just their maths and English but also science and modern languages. What’s more, this fantastic resource complements the structured and individualised programme that your child is already studying with First Class Learning.

To start using these materials speak to your First Class Learning manager about how to log on at EducationCity.com

Maltby Cricket Club is delighted to announce that the club’s new electronic scoreboard has been sponsored by local education provider First Class Learning.

We very much wanted to associate ourselves with such a thriving club as Maltby.” Almost 100 young people are involved with the club, which helps develop their sporting prowess alongside other personal skills such as teamwork and leadership. Chris added, “We at First Class Learning admire and share this ethos.”

Maltby Cricket Club Chairman Martin Barber stated, “The scoreboard is a magnificent addition to our facilities. The club has made significant progress over the last few years and I am determined that our facilities should be the best possible. We are extremely grateful to be associated with First Class Learning who share our passion for bringing the best out of youngsters.”
