Core skills are the foundations which will help your child to feel confident within a subject – for example, knowing their times tables, number bonds or phonics. Applied skills take these a step further, applying their knowledge to real life scenarios – tackling practical, reasoning and logic problems. These skills are not just for the classroom and key to exam success, but will set your child up for life! At TMS  our approach to maths and English tuition ensures that children learn both core and applied skills.
