All pupils are screened on entry and, where required, enter a learning support programme. The approach to learning support is holistic and is provided both in the classroom and on a 1:1 withdrawal basis.
Lita Brittain is responsible for all learning support and has a team of learning support staff. Together, they actively tailor the learning programme of each boy to ensure that he gains maximum benefit from all that the school has to offer.

If you seek admission for your son in these categories or similar we will require sight of any relevant professional reports prior to interview – for example, a report from your Educational Psychologist (EP).
We are a category DU (Dyslexia Unit) school with CReSTeD (Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexics) accreditation. CReSTeD, supported by the British Dyslexia Association, acknowledges schools for the quality and provision of support for dyslexic pupils. Our category DU status means we are a school with a designated unit or centre providing specialist tuition on a small group or individual basis, according to need.
A small percentage of our pupils are overseas students. Intensive English tuition can be provided and details are available from the Registrar. All pupils are screened on entry by a specialist EFL tutor after which individual tuition or small group tuition will be arranged.
There is an additional charge for intensive EFL tuition.
