About Learn with Littlegarth

Inspiring Confidence. Building Skills. Opening Doors.

Learn with Littlegarth is a new initiative from Littlegarth School, created to share our expertise and passion for learning with families across Colchester and the surrounding area. We believe that every child deserves the chance to reach their potential, and our tutoring service is designed especially for children in Years 4 and 5 preparing for the 11+ exams. 

Who We Are

Learn with Littlegarth brings the excellence and care of Littlegarth School into the wider community. Our mission is to provide local children — particularly those who want access to stretch and challenge — with high-quality academic support in a welcoming, encouraging environment. 

All of our tutors are fully qualified teachers, carefully selected to uphold the standards, professionalism, and values that define Littlegarth. Through engaging one-hour sessions in Maths and English, alongside exam technique, we help children strengthen understanding, build confidence, and prepare for success. 

Learn with Littlegarth reflects our commitment to excellence, community, and opportunity — extending the values of Littlegarth beyond our school gates to help every learner thrive. 

Our Approach

We believe that children learn best when they feel supported, challenged, and inspired. Our approach combines the academic rigour of Littlegarth with a nurturing, confidence-building ethos that encourages independence and curiosity. 

Each session is carefully structured to develop the key skills needed for 11+ success while nurturing problem-solving, critical thinking, and resilience. Whether working one-to-one or in a small group, every child benefits from personal attention and expert guidance from experienced teachers. 

Above all, our approach is about unlocking potential — giving children the tools, belief, and encouragement to perform at their best.
