WHY NOt CONSIDER BECOMING


A fOStER CARING fAMILY? Could you open up your home and provide a loving family to a child in need? There are many reasons why some children cannot be cared for by their own family, either short term or long term, so it is important that there are alternative families waiting to offer them the care they need. It is also an extremely rewarding experience for the whole foster family. If you think you have what it takes then get in touch with Slough Children’s Services Trust and find out how they can support you through the process.

A NEW AND AFFORDABLE APPROACH TO 11+ PREPARATION


ElemPrep was established to provide resources and support to all of those sitting the 11+ without having to worry about excessive costs. Worksheets are emailed out weekly, which are then marked and returned monthly, along with personalised reports. Assistance and advice is available over the phone, by email, or text throughout the month, when problems are faced with certain topics or specific questions.
