But what parents often don\u2019t realise is that two schools with similar results may operate in very different ways.

For a child to thrive, the style of teaching and classroom culture must suit their learning personality.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why we assess not just ability, but also how a student learns \u2014 whether they flourish with pace and pressure, or with encouragement and space.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5bc4947 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5bc4947\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d83185b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"d83185b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc22b49 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cc22b49\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.
