The Centre provides a unique learning environment where students are taught in small groups of no more than five so that they can receive individual attention. The Centre is equipped with modern computer facilities, enabling students to learn from the excellent English and Maths software available.
A wide variety of students attend the Centre. It caters for children who are having difficulty with their schoolwork or have fallen behind as well as children who would like to be challenged further.
