Our school also specialises in:

The objective is to break the cycle of failure and frustration so often encountered and to help our pupils acquire essential skills and knowledge, confidence and self-esteem. For simplicity, we use the term ‘Dyslexia’ or ‘Specific Learning Difficulties’ (SpLD) throughout the web site.
