Every parent wants their child to do better so whatever the reason, if your child isn’t getting the results you know they can achieve, private tuition can help your child improve in lessons and at exam time. How we work: We educate rather than train. When children are engaged, they start to enjoy learning again. Working with very small groups of children, we encourage them to ask questions, strike up dialogue and bounce ideas off each other. We support, motivate and challenge and this helps them overcome academic problems, achieve their potential and start to get the Assess - Develop - Progress results they deserve.

Comprising the towns of Benfleet, Canvey Island, Hadleigh and Thundersley, Castle Point covers 17.3 square miles and has a population of 88,000.

It is also an area of natural beauty, with large areas of open space, woodlands, salt marshes, ponds and heathland with hills offering superb views across the Thames Estuary. These spectacular views formed the backdrop to a worldwide audience when images were beamed across the globe as Castle Point hosted the 2012 Olympic Mountain Bike event.

It makes free-standing statutory proposals for this part of the stretch, and seeks approval for them by the Secretary of State in their own right under section 52 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949. 5.1.3 The report explains how we propose to implement the England Coast Path (“the trail”) on this part of the stretch, and details the likely consequences in terms of the wider ‘Coastal Margin’ that will be created if our proposals are approved by the Secretary of State. Our report also sets out: any proposals we think are necessary for restricting or excluding coastal access rights to address particular issues, in line with the powers in the legislation; and any proposed powers for the trail to be capable of being relocated on particular sections (“roll- back”), if this proves necessary in the future because of coastal change.

  • South Essex Surface Water Option Scoring Matrix
    SOUTH ESSEX SURFACE WATER OPTION SCORING MATRIX Stage 1 - Identify Potential Measures Critical Drainage Area ID: CAS 1 South Benfleet • Surface water tends to flow from the northwest to the southwest of the CDA, towards Benfleet Marsh where the surface water flood depths are greatest. There is one PSWFH area within the CDA. There is a extensive network of drainage ditches that will convey surface water runoff across the catchment. The steep topography to the Description: east of the CDA generates the relative high flow velocities and flood hazards. • A large proportion of the PSWFH coincides with the Benfleet Hall Sewer tidal and fluvial flood zones 2 and 3. • Surface water ponds within the South Benfleet storage area. Flood Risk Surface Water, Ordinary Watercourse and Sewer Categorisation: 639 buildings of which 542 are residential properties >0.1m Property Count: 39 buildings of which 25 are residential properties >0.3m 6 buildings of which 2 are residential properties >0.5m • South Benfleet Foundation School, Jotmans Hall School, The Appleton School, Critical Kents School, Holy Family Catholic School. • 5 Pumping Stations Infrastructure: • Police Station • Nursing Home • Flood records have been recorded at Clifton Way, Grove Road and Avondale Road. The latter two flood locations are in proximity to a drainage ditch. Validation: • Sewer flooding records are at Fernlea Road, Greenwood Avenue and at the junction between Vicarage Hill and High Road. Pluvial modelling indicates that surface water flows are generated from Thundersley Glen (to the northeast of CDA) and Hill Top Farm (to the southeast of the CDA). Surface water from these areas flows towards the Benfleet Hall Sewer which then PSWFH: converges with a tributary of the Benfleet Brook.
