Brighouse

About us

Kip McGrath, Brighouse & Elland Centre is run by Debra and Frank Page, qualified teachers and parents of  three children attending local schools.  We offer affordable private tuition in Maths, English and 11 plus grammar school entry tests, to children aged between 6 and 16, living in the Calderdale area. Experienced, professionally qualified teachers, trained in Kip McGrath's established approach, help to make the school National Curriculum more accessible to those children experiencing difficulties and also provide greater challenge to more able students.

FREE initial assessment & individual work programmes

Each child is given a free assessment, aimed at finding exactly where your child is struggling or where extra challenge may be appropriate. From this we will create a tailor-made programme to suit their individual needs. In our purpose-equipped education centre, we have a range of resources, including unique computer programmes, worksheets and text books as well as more tactile activities aimed at younger pupils or those with specific learning difficulties.

Building Confidence

Our caring and friendly approach at Kip Brighouse & Elland works equally well at building confidence in:

* children who are finding school work a struggle

* more able students, in need of encouragement to aim for more ambitious goals, such as grammar school entry.

No long-term contracts

If your aim is to achieve the best possible outcomes for your child upon leaving school, regardless of their ability, a long-term commitment on a regular basis can make the world of difference. Many Kip students stay for years and achieve far greater than could otherwise be expected. However if, for any reason, you wish to cease lessons, we normally ask only that you give us two weeks notice.

Testimonials

Frank and Debra ran Kip McGrath, Shipley for seven years before opening their new centre in Brighouse.  The large majority of their custom was and still is through personal recommendations from satisfied customers. The following are testimonials from delighted clients:

"A.. has absolutely loved coming to Kip McGrath and seen it as an activity rather than work!"

"P’s teachers are very pleased with her improvement, particularly her enthusiasm and confidence…she’s like a different child from how she was …"

"...thank you …the boys have gained confidence and speed…"

"…to thank all at Kip McGrath for their outstanding work in helping … obtain a level 5 in English and Maths in his KS2 SATs… He was on Level 3b and 8 months later obtained these fantastic results."

"Thank you for all the support and great tutoring you have shown to E….  She goes from strength to strength…"

11+

Eleven Plus (11+) Grammar Entry - Year 4 start recommended

Competition for entry to local grammar schools is fiercer than ever. In order to give children the best possible chance of success, we therefore recommend that pupils of above average ability, aiming to sit a grammar school entry test at the beginning of Year 6, start a specific 11+ scheme of work  at the beginning of Year 4.  For those children of average ability in English or Maths, it may be worthwhile starting earlier on a programme addressing weaknesses in these subjects.  We would not normally recommend a grammar school path for children of less than average ability although such children would undoubtedly benefit from our targetted help.

Local Free Grammar Schools in our area include:

The Crossley Heath School (Halifax)                Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Creative Writing tests

The North Halifax  Grammar School               Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Creative Writing tests

Heckmondwike Grammar School                   Maths, Verbal Reasoning & Non-Verbal Reasoning

We can also provide schemes of work for other, local, fee paying Grammar schools such as: Bradford Grammar; Hipperholme Grammar, The Rishworth School and Leeds Grammar.  All schools hold open days and publish admission criteria on their websites.
