After a successful term, our Easter Break begins today!

Today we celebrate International Children’s Book Day!

Every year on 1st April, April Fool’s Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. On this day, people traditionally play practical jokes on each other and have fun trying to make other people believe things that are not true.

In the UK, jokes and tricks can be played up until 12pm on 1st April. After midday, it's considered bad luck to play a trick.

From all of us at Trefoil, we hope you enjoy April Fool’s Day and be prepared for any surprises!

We would like to remind students and parents that this is the final week of group lessons before we begin our Easter break. The Spring Term ends on Sunday, the 6th of April. After the break, all group lessons will resume on Monday, the 21st of April.

We look forward to seeing everyone for their final lessons this Term!

As we enter the final week of the Spring Term, we would like to remind students that they will be sitting a 30-minute assessment in their lessons this week. These arrangements will differ slightly for students attending Reasoning lessons as well as students in exam years.

Remember to follow Vivek and Rebecca’s advice in the Welcome Booklet on how best to revise for these assessments.

Best of luck!

Eid Mubarak!

From all of us at Trefoil, we would like to wish you all a generous and happy Eid al-Fitr!

From all of us at Trefoil, we would like to wish all mothers and grandmothers of our students a Happy Mother’s Day! We hope you enjoy celebrating today, and feel loved and appreciated not only today but all through the year.

The clocks will go forward in the early hours of tomorrow morning from 1am to 2am. This change in time is called daylight savings and it occurs twice a year; the clocks go forward in March, and backwards in October. This means that we are now entering British Summer Time (BST) and there will be more light in the evenings.

Don’t forget to change your clocks!

As our Sixth Form students have now received most of their offers, they face the tough decision of choosing their destinations for the next 3-4 years. This seems like an apt time to remind parents and students that our tutors are more than happy to share their advice and experience on choosing the right university or study programme.

University ratings are also very helpful when considering your options – do have a look at the updated The Times Higher Education World University Rankings:

At Trefoil Tutors, we value the importance of maintaining an ongoing conversation between parents, tutors and students as a key factor in maintaining tutee progress and development.

Today, we celebrate World Maths Day!

World Maths Day is celebrated every year to make maths exciting and engaging for all school-aged children from all over the world – regardless of cultural or socio-economic background or ability. World Maths Day disregards the notion that you are either a ‘maths person’ or not.

Happy Maths Day!

Today is Red Nose Day!

Millions of people in the UK celebrate this day by wearing red noses and following the live telethon hosted by Comic Relief. You can watch this year’s broadcast on BBC One and BBC Two.

Comic Relief has a whole host of resources on their website to get you started on your fundraising journey:
