Sleuth
Taking inspiration from a range of detectives and code crackers, these packs will get your child thinking logically and carefully to solve a whole range of puzzles. They'll learn all about different types of codes and ciphers, and will have to use all their newfound skills to identify the culprit in our fictional criminal investigation. The activities are great practice for detailed code work which is often seen in the 11+ and Common Entrance exams, but will also benefit any child who needs to practise slowing down and paying close attention to problems. And, of course, it's great fun for everyone!

Imagination - Dream Big

Designed to support and challenge students through the use of stories and creative thinking, our Imagination packs encourage students to use novels as a starting point for exploring the wider world. By investigating the themes and influences within each book, we hope to show students that all learning connects, as well as inspiring them to get creative themselves.
