Give your pupils the Kickstart Advantage.

If a pupil is struggling in school, chances are you may be struggling to find a solution.

Even the brightest children often struggle, simply because they have not mastered the basic skills.  They may have tremendous potential but, for various reasons, they have failed to acquire some of the essential building blocks of learning.

Kickstart understands and can help.

We offer;

• A comprehensive education skills assessment to identify a pupil’s strengths and weaknesses.
• The Kickstart Assessment File is designed to get a clear picture of a pupil’s specific needs.  It is a unique diagnostic test which provides a detailed profile of his/her academic strengths and weaknesses.
• Using this information, skill gaps are pinpointed and Kickstart Publications’ wide range of resources will address a pupil’s individual needs.
