Hummingbird Learning

London

At Hummingbird we are passionate about bringing out the best in every child. We believe all children are individuals, and they all deserve the opportunity to be nurtured in the way best suited to their particular needs. We are dedicated to inspiring the love of learning that lies in all children, and developing the literacy and numeracy skills to build their future. And we achieve this through a carefully planned programme of one-to-one tuition, designed to give them the tools for entry to the UK independent schools at the age stages of seven, eight, and 11-plus. Hummingbird is also committed to helping children who need to catch up with their studies at school by diagnosing the gaps and learning issues, creating a tuition strategy delivered by supportive teachers. Our highly experienced tutors and consultants provide not only excellence in teaching for all of our pupils, but also care and support for their families at every step of the application pathway for the schools they have chosen for their children. But at Hummingbird our commitment to your child doesn't end with exams. We pride ourselves on looking at the bigger picture, offering a wider perspective on role models, and career opportunities. We want to provde your child with the skills necessary to thrive in today’s fast-changing digital world. At our partner Founders4school website, you and your child can access to the inspirational stories and resources to build the understanding of the future of the work. https://www.founders4schools.org.uk/.

Reading

The Museum of English Rural Life is owned and managed by the University of Reading. We use our diverse and surprising collection to explore how the skills and experiences of farmers and craftspeople, past and present, can help shape our lives now and into the future. We work alongside rural people, local communities and specialist researchers to create displays and activities that engage with important debates about the future of food and the ongoing relevance of the countryside to all our lives. We were established by academics in the Department of Agriculture in 1951 to capture and record the rapidly changing countryside following World War II. The Museum is based on Redlands Road in a building originally designed by Sir Alfred Waterhouse in 1880 for local businessman Alfred Palmer, of the Huntley & Palmer biscuit company. The house then became St Andrews Hall of Residence in 1911, and in 2005 a modern extension was built onto the house for the Museum. The Museum was awarded £1.8million from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) in 2014 for the redevelopment of the galleries, reopening in October 2016. The redevelopment strengthens and renews our links with agriculture as well as enhancing our position in supporting engagement opportunities for students and academics across a wide variety of disciplines, nationally and internationally. The MERL and Reading Museum are currently in a strategic partnership as part of the Arts Council England National Portfolio 2018-2022. As Museums Partnership Reading we work together to provide cultural opportunities for Reading’s young people and diverse communities, through schools, volunteering, digital engagement and exhibitions.
