Lumina Studios is a first-of-its-kind English learning studio for ages 7–11. Not a tutoring group. A studio where children discover they are capable of far more than anyone has asked of them.
Gravesend's first Lumina Studio. Free taster session available — no commitment required.
We believe every child in your home is capable of reading deeply, writing with precision and thinking independently. The gap between where they are and where they could be isn't a talent gap.
It's an expectations gap. And we're here to close it.
Every week your child attends both a Reading Lab and a Writing Lab — each 45 minutes, each with a distinct purpose that feeds the other.
Deep comprehension work anchored to rich, knowledge-building passages. Children don't just read — they analyse, infer and interrogate text. As knowledge grows, so does the quality and depth of everything they write.
Structured writing sessions that move from sentence to paragraph to argument. Literary devices, register, precision and structure — taught systematically so children have the tools to turn their knowledge into powerful, purposeful writing.
At Week 6 and Week 12, every child completes a formal Big Write assessment — an independent piece of extended writing that draws on everything learned in the studio so far. Within a week of each assessment, parents receive a comprehensive written report.
Halfway through the programme, your child completes their first Big Write. The report that follows gives you a clear picture of progress made, skills developing and where to focus for the second half of the term.
The final Big Write marks the close of the 12-week journey. The end-of-term report gives a complete view of the whole programme — how far your child has come, what they have mastered and what they are ready to tackle next.
Your child's first session is completely free. They experience the studio, the workbook and the labs in full — exactly as it would be every week. Only if you're happy do you enrol. No pressure, no invoice, no awkward conversation.
The £200/month programme only begins once you've experienced the studio and decided it's right for your child.
Register your interest and we'll arrange your child's free taster session ahead of our Summer 2026 opening. You only decide whether to enrol once you've seen the studio in action. No payment is taken at any point until you choose to join.
