Recently there has been much discussion over the current state of our education system, with suggestions for some radical changes in schools, concerns expressed regarding failing schools


and criticism of


teaching. Over the past 15 years both the Labour and coalition governments have invested hugely in our schools, but have our children really benefited? Children who succeed in school feel more confident and have a sense of achievement because they have enjoyed their lessons. Conversely, those pupils who have not made progress may feel unsure of themselves and begin to become disaffected with their education.


Many parents have taken steps to help their own children either by teaching them at home or enrolling them in extra classes and private tutoring centres. In Maidstone a new Kip McGrath Education Centre has recently opened. It is part of a successful


worldwide tutoring scheme and is equipped to develop key skills in literacy and numeracy. Parents throughout the UK have been delighted by the progress their children have made in Kip McGrath Education Centres. Here is what they have said: “We would like to thank you as the one constant in Luke's maths study course that has guided him through the last 4 years. Through your hard work and patience Luke has exceeded predictions and attained a C grade for maths modular. His teachers are very proud of his achievements and so are we. The Kip McGrath study methods have fulfilled all our expectations and more.” Barry and Karen, Parents Kip McGrath Milton Keynes Central


“I actually threatened my son by saying I would stop paying for the extra lessons when we first began and he begged me to keep letting him go as he enjoyed it so


much – and from a child who freely admits he's lazy and can't be bothered, that's amazing. Keep up the great work, guys.” Mrs Murray, Parent Kip McGrath Garforth
