The Good Schools Guide review of Kensington & Chelsea Tutors

Founded in 2002 by Nevil Chiles (a Kings College, London grad), after he’d done a stint of tutoring overseas, followed by teaching at an independent school. Amy Larkin joined in 2010 and now organises all the tuition, while Nevil takes an increasingly backroom role, including ‘the nuts and bolts – that is, the spreadsheets and money side.’ Helen Cripps, who used to do Amy’s role, is tutor interviewer.

Special Needs introduction

Some special needs are easy to spot, others are only determined once a child has experienced considerable difficulties, frustrations or social and emotional problems. Over the years, diagnosis of and provision for SEN have improved, but both can still be a minefield.

Finding a state grammar school

Counties such as Kent or Buckinghamshire are ‘selective authorities’ and most families will have at least one grammar school close to where they live. Elsewhere, for example in Reading or Kingston-on-Thames, there are just one or two grammar schools and competition for places at these is ferocious. How to find a state grammar school Grammar schools are located in 36 English local authorities. Almost half of these are considered 'selective authorities' (eg Kent and Buckinghamshire), where around one in five local children are selected for grammar school entry based on ability. The others are areas such as Barnet or Kingston,…
Schools for children with performing arts talents

As proud parents, we all know our children are unique. They're smarter than anyone else's, funnier, certainly more attractive, better behaved and above all bursting with the kind of talent that would leave Daniel Radcliffe, Jamie Bell and Charlotte Church standing. And for some extraordinary - though totally understandable - reason, everyone but us seems blind to our offspring's God-given artistic gifts.
State boarding schools
