In Literacy we will be continuing to have regular grammar and comprehension lessons as well as opportunities to write in a variety of styles and for a variety of purposes. Much of the writing we do will be linked to our preparation for the Grammar School exams and will focus on GL, CEM and Bond work for our Verbal Reasoning activities. We will base our work on all local schools including WGS, MSHG, MGS, Bolton Boys and Girls, St Bedes, Bury and Bridgewater etc. We will also work on our interview skills and public speaking presence.

In Numeracy we will be fully focused upon the Manchester Independent Consortium Examinations. We will also base our work on all local schools including WGS, MSHG, MGS, Bolton Boys and Girls, St Bedes, Bury and Bridgewater etc. We will cover a wide variety of topics related to these examinations – including algebra, time speed and distance, conversion graphs and GL work in Mathematics and NVR.
