AN EDUCATION centre where children can have extra tuition in maths and English has now opened in Swindon.

The Kip McGrath centre offers tuition to six to 16-year-olds at the Basepoint Business Centre in Rivermead Drive, Westlea.

As well as tuition, the centre also offers a free assessment of every child and helps to put together an education plan for them.

It is one of a chain of extra-curricular Kip McGrath education centres, which originated in Australia. There is also one in Chippenham.

Youngsters play games, solve puzzles and can get help with their school work.

Centre director Andrea Parkinson, said: "Our parents want to give their children the best possible opportunities to succeed and we can provide them with a motivating, relaxed and positive environment whilst focusing on their learning needs."
