what is

the excel assessment

We don’t offer free trial classes.
Instead, we offer something far more valuable—an experience that’s tailored to you or your child, right from the beginning.

Every new student begins with a 1:1 Excel Assessment.
This isn’t a test. It’s not about performance or ability. It’s about people. It’s about your child.

We want to understand:

✅ What your child needs to thrive

✅ What you’re hoping to find as a parent

✅ Where they’ll feel happiest, most confident, and most supported

You won’t be left waiting outside. From the very first visit, you’ll be involved, welcomed and supported—just like your child.

Together, we’ll set the foundations to Excel in Life

Why We Start With an Assessment (Not a Trial)

Unlike a typical trial class, our Excel Assessment is calm, focused and free of pressure. It’s yours or your child’s opportunity to:

  • Meet one of our passionate teachers 1:1
  • Get familiar with our academy space
  • Ask questions, move at their own pace and build confidence

People often tell us they or their children are nervous before trying something new. That’s why our assessment helps remove that fear by building comfort and connection.

You’ll leave with a clear plan, answers to your questions, and most importantly—you will feel seen, heard, and excited.

Your First Step: A Small Investment in The Future

To reserve your Excel Assessment, we ask for a £20 investment, a gesture of commitment that helps us prepare the best possible first experience for you or your child.

We’ve found that individuals and families who are ready to take this first step get the most from the journey—and feel the difference from day one.

What Happens After the Assessment?

If it feels like the right fit (and we’re confident it will), we’ll:

  • Recommend the most suitable class for you or your child
  • Share your tuition options
  • Answer any remaining questions

There’s no pressure. Just clarity, care and next steps.
