Holiday intensives

Four-day blocks in the school holidays. Pre-term readiness, exam preparation, or closing one stubborn gap properly.

Three students collaborate on a solar-powered car building project during a CAQA Academy holiday intensive.

What it covers

  • Four days, three hours a day, small group and online
  • One clear target agreed before the block starts
  • The full Mastery Cycle, compressed but not shortcut
  • A delayed check scheduled after the holidays, not during
  • A written report at the end of the block
  • Pre-term readiness, exam preparation or targeted gap closure

Who it is for

Learners who need a concentrated push: before a new year level, before an exam period, or on one topic that has resisted weekly tutoring.

The delayed check still happens. We schedule it for after the holidays, because a check taken on day four measures the week, not the learning.

How it runs

Four consecutive days, 9am to 12pm or 1pm to 4pm, online. January, April, July and September.

Questions

Is four days enough?

For one descriptor cluster, often yes. For a two-year gap, no, and we will say so before you book rather than after.

Can this replace weekly tutoring?

No. Intensives work well alongside weekly sessions or as a targeted push. Spacing is part of how learning sticks, and four days in a row removes it.

What if my child is exhausted by day three?

Three hours a day with breaks is the maximum we run for a reason. If a learner is not coping we will tell you and we will refund the remaining days.
