Jones Lang LaSalle supports Colfe’s Rugby Team
International Property Consultants, Jones Lang LaSalle have entered into a new rugby sponsorship relationship with Colfe’s School. The fi rst sponsorship has been of the Under 15s team and Ken Deamer, national director of residential said: “Blackheath is famous for being home to Blackheath FC, the oldest open rugby football club in the world. We wanted to embark on local sports sponsorship via a school and Colfe’s was our choice.” Matthew Gallagher, captain (see image) also plays for Kent
and is a member of Saracens Elite Junior Training squad. His father, John, head of Colfe’s Prep School was born in Lewisham and emigrated to New Zealand in 1984 to hone his rugby skills. Three years later, he was a full-back in the All Blacks, and a World Cup winner. Good luck to Colfe’s in their rugby future.

xtra tuition can prove an excellent option in helping children with their education outside of regular schooling.
There are myriad reasons for hiring a tutor for your child. Children learn in different ways. It is the case that some children work better in a one-on-one environment, where the close personal attention they receive can build confi dence and self-esteem. Extra tuition can provide the close help that may not be readily available in overstretched classrooms where children can sometimes struggle to engage and connect. Tuition can help build a child’s confi dence in the way they learn and beyond into wider social spheres. The encouraging push and
psychological boost extra tuition can give
may go a long way to your child achieving higher grades in exams and coursework. Tutorials can bring the learning environment into life outside of school. Rather than dropping that ethic and leaving it behind in the classroom at the end of the day, it can help
encourage learning in other areas of the child’s life.

Flexibility is important when looking at hiring a tutor; the frequency of sessions and type of tuition that best suits the child is the most important thing to remember. It may be that your child struggles with just one particular subject. You can just request sessions on a specifi c topic, physics, for example, to help your child overcome their struggles in that area. Tuition may also be useful for children with learning
diffi culties, and many tutors will offer SEN sessions as part of their available services. Again, this kind of focused assistance can prove enormously benefi cial to your child’s learning. Tutors can be hired through an agency or independently. The average costs for a weekly session breaks down by age as follows: KS3 £20per hour; KS4 £25ph; KS5 £30ph. Most tutors provide children with books and other learning resources themselves. A good tutor should also provide references and evidence of an enhanced CRB check. It is also vital that the tutor displays to you that they possess an excellent grasp of the national syllabus.

Making learning magical through creativity
The Crafty Wizards Pre-School opened in September in New Eltham. Run by a qualifi ed teacher and all staff are 100% qualifi ed.
We believe that we are different because we have creativity at the heart of what we do. We are passionate in art, music, drama, crafts and construction but these are merely tools to connect ideas, explore, think and absorb the world around. The pre school aims to provide a broad, balanced, differentiated and relevant curriculum and it is creativity, which is a key to learning and fosters excitement and enjoyment.
