We also provide tailored courses for SATs, GCSE and all other year groups.  To find out more on what we offer, how we run courses and how to book, visit our main ETC website, or call the Head Office on 01474 321 658.    http://www.extratuition.com/bexleyheath/post-83-school-stats-not-to-be-judged-by-raw-score-statistics.html Some schools are arguing that we shouldn't judge them by the 'Raw Score' statistics of the KS3 results. They are saying that these scores are not a true representation of a school's success. http://www.extratuition.com/bexleyheath/post-82-bexleyheath-scouts-group.html Interested in joining the scouts?

They went there to ask for his help in helping children get an education throughout the world. We think this is an excellent idea. Well done to the children that took part. http://www.extratuition.com/bexleyheath/post-80-genetic-evolution-of-butterflies.html Did you know that the female Papilio Dardanus has a special gene that allows it to mimic other butterflies?

Some can even copy patterns to make them look like other poisonous butterflies! To read more about this exciting new development, click the link shown above.
