Exceptional and fully immersive. The entire school is a dedicated specialist provider for pupils with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD), such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and executive functioning issues. It features integrated, on-site therapists (Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy) embedded directly into classroom tracking.
Non-selective on traditional mainstream academic metrics, but highly profile-specific. Candidates must have an official diagnosis of dyslexia or a related Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD). Parents or local authorities must submit up-to-date Educational Psychologist reports, speech/language therapy assessments, and an EHCP (if applicable). This is followed by an assessment visit and a formal multi-day school taster trial.
Operates a rolling admissions framework throughout the year. Places are highly sought after and restricted by tight class sizes. Early consultation (6–12 months in advance) is strongly advised, though mid-year transitions are accommodated if matching class dynamic slots become available.
Highly rated by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). Acclaimed nationally for its specialized dyslexia curriculum, holding long-standing CReSTeD approval, and recognized as a premier UK SEN boarding option.
In recent Key Stage 4 lines, 69% of students achieved GCSE grades 4 or above, with many exceeding their baseline CAT4 cognitive predictions. Leavers routinely progress into specialized further education colleges, mainstream technical institutions, targeted university courses, or practical apprenticeships.
