Masterclasses

If your child is naturally curious and loves to learn, our programme of Masterclasses will be a perfect match for them!

We bring together like-minded children to explore subjects such as Philosophy, Spanish, History, English, Mathematics and the Sciences in a fun yet thought-provoking way. 

The sessions are highly interactive, cover areas beyond the National Curriculum and give the children the chance to meet and work with others from a wide range of local schools.

“Our Masterclasses welcome pupils from over 70 local primary schools”

How it works

Ahead of each masterclass, we notify local primary school headteachers about the upcoming sessions and they forward the information to parents and guardians of Year 5 pupils. The email includes a link to the TicketSource booking platform, where parents can reserve a place for their child. For added security, bookings are password-protected, and the password is shared with headteachers to distribute to parents.

Once the details are sent, parents and guardians can easily book a space via TicketSource. A few days before the masterclass, we email all registered parents and guardians with joining instructions and a timetable for the session.

Sessions take place on Saturday mornings, over four or six weeks. Many Masterclass pupils find the experience to be a confidence booster and excellent preparation for secondary school.

Our Saturday Masterclasses are for current Year 5 children, with an interest and ability in the subject.

  • Masterclasses are free of charge
  • Each session is independent of the others
  • We expect children to commit to a complete series of classes
  • Children may participate in only one Saturday course per term
  • We welcome all applications, but those from children who have already attended a Masterclass will be given lower priority
  • We welcome feedback from parents and children
