As the kids prepare for Big School in September, following from the success of the Facebook AQE/GL Support Group, there is a now a new ‘Big School’ Support Group’ for parents to move to, along with as a number of spin-off Facebook Support Groups have been created for different schools.
These specific groups are listed below and will be an ideal forum for parents to continue to share information and offer ongoing support to each other – which will only be appropriate for that particular Big School, for example, “Don’t forget there is a non-uniform day tomorrow“.
So here you go, I trust you’ll find this useful. If you want me to add your September intake group, fill in the form at the bottom of this page and I’ll add it when I get a chance. If you don’t have a group yet, then set one up – it’s not difficult and a quick Google search will show you how.

More about The Transfer Tutor (Multi-Award Winning Online Quizzes)
The Transfer Tutor’s Online Quizzes provide a fun and interactive way to learn and practise Maths and English questions which are directly aligned to both the AQE and GL specifications.
There are many, great features including (but not limited to):
- Quizzes broken down into specific English and Maths topics, to allow for focused learning and the ability to hone in on areas of weakness.
- Mobile friendly and works on any internet device.
- ‘Hint’ option supports the child’s learning. For example, in question about calculating area of an irregular shape, the hint will say, “Break it into two” – enough to keep the child going but teaching them for future, similar questions.
- The Leaderboard at the end makes the child feel like they’re playing a game and having friendly competition.
- Good use of colour and graphics which makes it exciting.
- Parents receives a progress email at the end to let them know how their child did.
