Newstead Wood and St Olave’s are on your doorstep

Darrick Wood School in Orpington, chosen for easy reach from the town centre and from the primary schools most of our families come from.

Everyone who registers gets the exact entrance and parking details by WhatsApp and email, well before classes start. Your seat is held either way, and if the location does not suit you once you know it, you can step away and owe nothing further.

Because we are new to Orpington and you have no reason to take our word for anything yet.

Your first month is half price. That is long enough for your child to settle in, and long enough for you to watch what happens to their marks and their confidence. We would rather you decided after seeing the teaching than after reading a leaflet about it.

No. The half-price first month is the only payment before classes start, and it confirms the seat. The room fits a fixed number of children, so an empty chair costs another family a place.

It is not a deposit, it is not a subscription, and it does not roll into anything you have not agreed to. You can stop after that month.

You decide, and you decide knowing the number in advance. From month two it is £25 an hour, paid monthly in advance, about £150 a month.

If you want to carry on, you carry on. If you would rather stop, tell us and that is the end of it. There is no contract, no notice period and no cancellation fee.

No. Registering does not set up a Direct Debit, a standing order or any recurring payment, and nothing begins charging you automatically after the first month.

The first month is a single one-off payment. If you choose to continue after it, we arrange payment with you at that point, as a separate conversation.

Years 4 to 6, which covers children beginning their preparation right through to those sitting the exam next. We are not running Year 3 classes at this centre for now. If your child is outside that range, tell us on the form and we will be straight with you about whether we can help.

Classes cover Maths, English, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning, which is the full spread tested by the Kent, Bexley and Bromley papers.

Small enough that nobody sits at the back and disappears, which is the whole reason we cap registrations rather than taking every name that comes in.

We will confirm the exact group size with the joining details, once the room is confirmed.

Not on this page. Once you register your interest, we send you a payment link on WhatsApp and the seat is confirmed when it is paid.

We do it that way so you can ask us questions first, and so you are never typing payment details into a page before you have spoken to a human.

Tell us when you register and we will note it. Seats are allocated for the September opening first, but if your circumstances change we would rather know early and offer the place to another family than hold a chair nobody uses.
