From SATs to Secondary School:
SATs Are Over, But the Real Journey Is Just Beginning
Just because primary school is over doesn’t mean learning should stop. Help your child stay sharp, confident, and ready for Year 7 with Marvellous Minds’ Summer Support.
Children can lose up to 2 months of learning over the summer. At Marvellous Minds, we turn that time into an opportunity, keeping skills fresh and building readiness for the next academic leap.
Support That Grows With Your Child
Your child already knows our tutors and environment. That familiarity is a powerful advantage during times of change, and Marvellous Minds is here to help your child adapt to the new environment and academic demands of secondary school.
What is the Marvellous Minds difference?
And why you should stay with us…
Prevent Summer Learning Loss
Without academic engagement over the summer, children can lose 20–30% of what they learned during the school year. At Marvellous Minds, we keep brains active with light, purposeful lessons that reinforce key skills from KS2, ensuring your child doesn’t fall behind before they even start Year 7.
Smooth Transition to High School
Year 7 isn’t just a new year - it’s a whole new world. Students must adapt to new routines, subjects, teachers, and a faster pace. If they stay with us, they will know familiar faces and learn in a structured, supportive environment amidst the changes a new school can bring.
Build Confidence and Independence
At Marvellous Minds, we don’t just teach content - we teach students how to think. Our tutors encourage self-led learning, problem-solving, and asking questions. As students prepare for a more independent school environment, we help them:
Set personal goals
Take ownership of their progress
Learn how to break down complex tasks into manageable steps
Flexible and Fun Learning Environment
The rigid structure of secondary education may feel stifling to some students, so the dynamic approach to education and academia with Marvellous Minds will be a welcome reprieve as your child continues their educational journey with us!
Tutoring Doesn’t End with Primary School
You may think of tutoring as “just for SATs” - but Marvellous Minds is so much more than test prep.
As your child enters secondary school, the workload grows. So does the need for support.We offer continuous tutoring through KS3 and beyond, guiding students through each stage of their academic journey with the same trusted tutors they already know.
Your child’s learning doesn’t stop at primary school. Neither does our support.
Prepare for High School with Confidence
Starting Year 7 can feel daunting. There’s more homework, harder topics, and a big step up in expectations. When your child continues with Marvellous Minds, they will see the benefits of:
Familiarity with KS3 subjects like science, English literature, and algebra
Improved critical thinking and literacy skills
A sense of achievement and preparedness that calms nerves and builds enthusiasm
Develop Independent Study Habits Early
Secondary success requires time management, self-motivation, and resilience.We teach these essential habits in a calm, supportive setting so that students:
Learn how to organise their work
Build strategies for revision and retention
Get used to taking responsibility for their own learning
These are life skills that go well beyond school.
Familiar Faces, Consistent Support
Your child already has a relationship with our tutors—and we already understand their unique strengths and learning needs. Sticking with us through this transition means:
No need to start from scratch
A safe, supportive learning space during a time of change
Long-term trust that makes it easier for children to open up and ask for help when they need it most
Keep the learning going this summer!
