Other Amenities
At Cothill (Cothill House), which was recently recognized as a runner-up for “Great for SEND” in The Week magazine’s awards, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities support is focused on normalising neurodiversity within a mainstream boarding environment. Operating a structured “Assess, Plan, Do, Review” framework under the guidance of the school’s SENCo, the Learning Support department uses initial baseline screening to target specific learning difficulties (such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, and ADHD) and milder autistic spectrum conditions. While high-quality classroom differentiation forms the foundational layer, the school provides tailored, individual, or small-group interventions for skills like touch-typing, reading, and handwriting.

Entry Requirements
Generous but structured “broad entry, tight exit” policy. Admissions are focused on character and fit rather than high-stakes digital testing. Involves a 1:1 visit, an informal talk with the Headmaster, basic academic baseline checks (English and Maths), and a confidential report from their current school.
Key Dates for Admissions
Employs a rolling admissions process year-round depending on space availability, though main assessments for peak autumn entry groups are focused in the preceding winter/early spring terms.
