How does the school approach teaching children with dyslexia and associated learning difficulties?
We operate a whole-school, holistic, 24-hour curricular approach to dyslexia, with research-based multi sensory programmes designed to encourage confidence, self-esteem and feelings of success. A full but differentiated National Curriculum is offered to meet the needs of the individual. Our teaching groups are small, with the adult-pupil ratio often one adult to four children. Plus the language of the classroom is adapted and instructions are given one at a time. All staff are specialists in the teaching of dyslexics or must be in training for a Sp.L.D. qualification. What are the challenges? No two pupils with dyslexia or associated learning difficulties are the same. Our staff must therefore have knowledge of each pupil and the teaching methodology must meet the needs of each child. They must also be prepared to undertake INSET as part of their CPD. What’s more, approaches must be consistent across the curriculum, as well as in the boarding houses, so we feel confident that we are me
