We enable our pupils to take full advantage of their intellect and talents by learning how to manage their dyslexia. Our ethos is underpinned by the basic values of Tolerance, Courage, Respect, Resilience and Integrity.

Our pupils are girls and boys, aged 7-16, from many of the Southeast counties. Pupils are encouraged to embrace their wonderful and often creative way of thinking and celebrate – not fear – their dyslexia. Our school’s primary purpose is to educate and support our pupils and to ensure their wellbeing. We can only achieve these objectives for our pupils with highly committed, professional staff. We aim to work as a collegiate organisation with mutual respect for and reliance on, the contribution made by each other.
