The Nimble Minds Programme is devised to:

• Provide a sound base for the understanding of Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning concepts. Alongside this we work on the 4 C’s of Education:
• teach Reasoning to prepare for the 7+ and beyond.
• provide practise with answering Reasoning questions.
• provide each child with a positive experience of working constructively in group activities with children from other schools.
• give each child the opportunity to join in group discussions and a debating session.
• include a creative writing session with a guest teacher who specialises in this.
• engage children in enjoyable thinking games, carefully chosen to boost vocabulary, concentration, critical thinking, processing speed, working memory, creativity and collaboration.

These group sessions are designed to be enjoyable and to boost your child’s confidence.

The sessions are planned Helene Jones and Sarah Mercer. They will be taught by Sarah, with an assistant.
