Our Success Stories.
Gabriel
– Secondary Success –
What Gabriel says:
“I always wanted to become a veterinary doctor but never had the confidence or determination to achieve that long-term ambition. When I first started Parch Hill, I was scoring quite low in my English and maths exams as I was quite slow paced and not very detailed in my English. My teachers helped me to improve on my exam skills, especially in terms of planning and structure, areas which I struggled with initially. Going the extra mile, the tutors at Parch Hill marked extra practice papers that I had completed at home in the run-up to the revision period.”
Gabriel
– Secondary Success –
What his parents say:
“At every stage of Gabriel’s GCSE, the teachers at Parch Hill were always available to support and guide him in terms of exam practice and revision. The teachers were always present for feedback, both face-to-face and via telephone which meant that I was constantly made aware of how he was progressing and any topics that he needed to focus on in more detail. In the lead up to the exams, the teachers were extremely supportive and gave Gabriel extra resources to specifically help him.”

What his teachers say
“Gabriel started his journey with us at Parch Hill at the beginning of Year 10 in 2015, slightly timid and stressed, he aspired to become a veterinary doctor however was not confident that he would reach his long-term ambition. With continued exam practice, support from his teachers and regular feedback, Gabriel received a total of 7 A*s, including Grade 9 in English in his GCSE exams in 2017. He is now studying A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics at a local Grammar School.”
Tanae
– 11 Plus Success –
What Tanae says:
“I loved my time at Parch Hill! My teachers were so helpful and friendly, and really encouraged me to do the best on my 11 plus. I developed a great relationship with my teachers as we all worked so closely together, which made lessons at Parch Hill really fun. Although the tests could be tricky at times, they really challenged me and helped me practice.”
Tanae
– 11 Plus Success –
What her parents say:
“As Tanae’s 11 Plus came closer, we were so lucky to find Parch Hill. It was the perfect option and really challenged Tanae’s approach to learning. I was so happy with the importance they placed on concentrating and keeping focused through the 2 hours, as well as increasing speed and accuracy. We got excellent feedback on Tanae’s progress and fantastic advice on further things we could to do help her, such as mock exams and intensive courses. The level of engagement from her teachers kept Tanae extremely enthusiastic all throughout her 11 Plus adventure.”
Tanae
– 11 Plus Success –
What her teachers say
“Tanae started at Parch Hill aged 10, with big dreams of becoming an investment banker (we know!). With such great ambitions, Tanae needed a little extra help along the way to secure placement into her preferred secondary school. She consistently showed superb effort throughout her classes and completed every task given to her, including all Home-Learning activities. We worked closely with Tanae’s mother to ensure she continued to show the same enthusiasm at home, along with providing high-standard resources to specifically aid Tanae. Wondefully, Tanae was awarded places in all of the grammar schools she had applied to, as well as a full scholarship.”
Sudeshna
– Confidence Building –
What Sudeshna says:
“Parch Hill has let me spend extra time on topics which I didn’t quite understand at school, with individual support from my teachers, I am now confident in working on my own at home and as a group at Parch Hill. I have made friends here, and feel comfortable talking about my work with everyone in the lesson.”
Sudeshna
– Confidence Building –
What her parents say:
“We started Sudeshna at Parch Hill as we felt that the smaller group size would give her the opportunity to come out of her shell. She finds school quite overwhelming and finds it difficult to involve herself in class discussions. Since Parch Hill, we have seen a massive improvement in her confidence, as well as her grades improving greatly. The teachers have worked really hard with Sudeshna, as well as giving us parents advice reguarly on how to help her at home.”
Sudeshna
– Confidence Building –
What her teachers say
“Sudeshna started at Parch Hill as a year 4 student, although she showed signs of general understanding of the curriculum, she found it difficult to join in with class discussions and peer-groups. After consistently pushing Sudeshna out of her quiet comfort-zone, she began to show signs of becoming comfortable and confident within the small student group. After nearly a year at Parch Hill, she has shown tremendous improvement in her class engagement, as well as her grades flying high as she is now on target to reach top levels this year.”

TESTIMONIALS
I started my child at Parch Hill because I was worried that his grades were not improving, and he was often distracted at school. Parch Hill seemed like the perfect compromise, as he could still enjoy himself in the smaller groups, but also have individual attention. In the year my child has been here, I have seen a massive improvement in his grades, along with his enjoyment of learning. I couldn’t have asked for a better improvement!
Leon Graves
As my daughter’s GCSE exams were approaching, it was important for me to find a centre to support her revision. Parch Hill left me feeling that my daughter was in safe hands and guided her all the way up until her exams. She was given a new practice paper every single week, which would never have been available to her, and was given specific and detailed feedback. I would reccommend Parch Hill to anyone who needs support with their child’s education.
Amanda Covey
My son was really hesitatant about completing work at home, and it was a daily struggle to get him to complete his homework. With Parch Hill’s support, he has gained independence and confidence, and homework is now a joy!
