About the School

This is a unique dyslexia school in Sussex for young people between the ages of 7 and 19 and cater for students who have Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia, and Speech, Language and Communication needs.

This well-established school is based in East Sussex and their roots go back over 100 years and are to believe they are the oldest dyslexia school in the country, and possibly the world. This day and boarding dyslexia-friendly school has a friendly, "family" feel, and the pupils are courteous and cheerful.

In a recent Ofsted Inspection, inspectors judged the pupils' behaviour to be "outstanding", and commented on the school's "highly appropriate focus on the pupils' specific learning difficulties".

SpLD can affect children of all abilities, and at this school, they are committed to ensuring that every pupil achieves the highest level of success possible. Each child's needs are thoroughly assessed, and individual support provided, in small classes, supplemented where appropriate with one-to-one tuition or therapy, the setting of ambitious but achievable expectations, the careful tracking of progress and the provision of quality feedback.

The team at this lovely school has immense experience in helping children with a range of educational needs; all of their classroom staff, including Teaching Assistants, have specialist dyslexia training, and their therapists and counsellors provide additional one to one support on site where required.

The school is divided into three parts: the Prep School, the Senior School, and the Sixth Form, which we run in conjunction with our partner Establishment College. This means we can provide 'all through' education from age 7 upwards, and can admit appropriate pupils at any stage of their school career.

This school caters for students from throughout the UK and some international students too.

Term Time Teachers are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, therefore all applicants will be subject to a full face-to-face registration and an Enhanced DBS
