From 16 onwards, enrichment becomes increasingly strategic as students prepare for final school qualifications and applications to some of the most competitive universities in the UK and internationally. At this juncture, breadth, depth and intellectual maturity matter as much as results. Bonas MacFarlane offers carefully selected courses and enrichment that help students stand out through genuine engagement, curiosity and clarity of direction.
Courses and enrichment at this stage are designed to complement academic study by developing intellectual independence and a clear academic profile. Our tutors work closely with students to explore subjects in greater depth and strengthen interests beyond the curriculum, making them distinctive candidates in highly competitive admissions processes.
Courses that extend learning beyond the curriculum and support intellectual depth, confidence and preparation for university-level study.
Enrichment that helps students develop and present strengths beyond grades, including music, arts and wider intellectual interests.
Structured programmes supporting advanced academic readiness, admissions test preparation and the development of a coherent, competitive university application profile.
Families come to us for reassurance and guidance as much as expertise. By building long-term relationships based on trust, discretion, and thoughtful support, we support parents and children through some of the most important early decisions they will make.
Darren has been the best art mentor we’ve had the fortune of working with, providing invaluable guidance and support that helped my son complete his portfolio on time in his final year of senior school. His mentorship truly brought out the best in him, and the outstanding feedback the work has received wherever it has been submitted speaks for itself.
I want to extend my deepest thanks to mentor Darren Marshall. His professional mentoring and support over the past year have meant a great deal to me. I truly cannot imagine how I would have connected with the RCA—or completed my studies so smoothly—without his efficient and high-quality mentoring. Thanks to Darren‘s support, I’ve made significant progress, even breakthroughs, in my artistic journey. It has been a real pleasure working with him.
It has been a wonderful and fruitful experience working with BM Tutors. We were very happy with their professional service and supportive approach, and ultimately we are grateful for the fine results they have helped us achieve.
