Digital learning connects students with knowledge from the comfort of their own home.

Mentorship
Alongside the scheduled lessons, each student will
be assigned a mentor from our team of experienced
teachers. They will receive one to one session during
the course to create an action plan that extends beyond
their time at the spring school. The mentor will be there
to provide guidance, motivation and support whilst
reviewing class progress in order to get the most out
of their spring school experience.
We feel this is a vital part of our programme to
encourage our students to reflect in order to nurture
them into confident and well-grounded individuals.
Our mentors will provide a safe space for the students
to be able to ask for help and discuss any issues they
are worried about.
We hope that by incorporating this personalised
element, our students will be empowered to fulfil
their potential.
