Our Philosophy – A Unique Formula for Success
Our
mission statement 'The same roads by different steps' rings true in everything
we do. We provide specialist dyslexic teaching in classes with a 6:1 pupil to
teacher ratio. Our environment is built for children with dyslexia – where our
pupils feel the same as everyone else.
As
a result our pupils' self esteem and confidence grows. They feel happy,
fulfilled, confident and most importantly of all they are given the same
opportunities as children who do not have dyslexia. We do not believe in specialist dyslexic units
situated within a mainstream school where a child may feel different. We know
the things that make a difference and our experience, results and feedback from
parents, pupils and teachers demonstrates that our unique formula works.

Why Choose Us?
If a pupils dyslexia
is not understood they may not achieve their potential.
Many of our pupils leave our school to go on to
university, whatever path they take we have given them the confidence to
believe in themselves and believe that anything is possible – their dyslexia
will not hold them back.
Jos’s parents wrote this
letter – “ Jos has just finished his studies and has been awarded a First; not
bad for a genuine dyslexic. As you can imagine, we are delighted with his efforts
and felt that we should share his achievements with you, as there is no doubt
that it was your help and guidance, early on in his schooling, that set him on
the road to his current academic success.”
