The classes are small, with approximately 8 pupils, and every child has half an hour daily of individual tuition. Although the main emphasis is on literacy and numeracy, most other aspects of the National Curriculum are also appropriately differentiated to suit each individual dyslexic child’s unique way of learning.

In addition to catering for the educational needs of the dyslexic child, the school also aims to meet emotional and social needs by providing a friendly environment with sympathetic teachers. Personal growth is encouraged by promotion of a code of conduct, healthy lifestyle, self confidence and determination.
