MOVE

MOVE is a national charity working with severely disabled children in a Programme designed to increase their mobility and therefore their independence.

MOVE combines therapy and education in a programme which helps children work towards goals that they really want to achieve, which can range from learning to hold their head up by themselves to learning the skills needed to play football with their friends using a pacer. MOVE is unique in that no child is too disabled to use it and works with the child’s parents, teachers and therapists to teach them skills which are then practised in everyday life, enabling parents to be involved in key decision making and instrumental in their child’s development.

Visit our website or call us on 020 7407 5344 to find out more information, speak to a specialist or a parent of a child already on the programme or to visit a school using MOVE.

French  & Spanish classes for children

Established since 1983. Give your Child a Skill for Life.

What’s on 4 Kids 2017 Awards – Voted Best National Activity for Children aged 5-12 years old - 4th consecutive year - Voted for by Parents & Children

For over 30 years La Jolie Ronde has been a unique centre for learning not just a second language but a platform for introducing children to the everyday realities of the country and the culture they are studying. Our award winning programme, for 0-12 years, contains stories, action poems, chants, songs and games enabling children to learn whilst having fun! Children progress through the programme and there are different starting points so children can start learning French or Spanish whatever their age following a programme tailored to their age group. Topics are based on real life situations suited to the interest, experience and social development of each age group.

WHY LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE?

  • ENHANCE LIFE SKILLS - Speaking another language opens the door to new possibilities & opportunities. Travel and lifelong friendships are built with the people you meet along the way if you're able to communicate easily
  • DEVELOP CONFIDENCE & SELF ESTEEM - Learning a second language is incredibly rewarding and can enrich personal life too. We encourage children to use language in real life situations which in turn will enable them to overcome fears and doubts leaving them feeling much more confident
  • BOOST OTHER LEARNING - Research has found that pupils who study foreign languages, tend to score better at standardised tests than their monolingual peers. This has been particularly noticeable in maths, reading, and vocabulary
  • IMPROVE YOUR EMPLOYABILITY - Our globalised world means companies are constantly expanding overseas plus dealing with clients from all over the world. Speaking a second language enables you to communicate with a broader network

WHY CHOOSE US OVER OTHERS?

With La Jolie Ronde we are a brand you can trust. You have the security, reassurance and guarantee of a long and proven experience of teaching French & Spanish to young children. Our Programmes are used as part of the curriculum in hundreds of top prep schools in the UK and are taught across the world including the USA, Indonesia, Australia, South America, Africa, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Canada and Japan

Bauhaus Educational Services Ltd

Tuition and Registered Exam Centre

We provide unique tuition programmes for students of all levels across a range of subjects. Each child is provided with a series of one-hour tuition sessions with a subject specialist, either in person at our Northampton-based and Nottingham-based offices, or remotely.

Tuition is tailored to the needs of each student, making the lessons truly unique and targeted to their strengths and weaknesses in order to maximise students’ potential.

Along with our 1:1 tuition, we are also an examination centre, meaning that your child can sit their exams with us. This is ideal if your child is home-schooled, needs to re-sit an exam, or struggles to cope in the standard examination environment.

We also offer Cognitive Assessments and personalised training. For more info, you can access our website.

We offer these services as an Ofsted registered and reviewed centre, meaning that our quality and standards are held to account, so you can expect the best for your child.

All of our tutors are experts in their fields and have undergone full DBS checks. They are experienced and can adapt different teaching styles to help their students make rapid and significant progress.
