The Admissions Process
Who do we admit?
We welcome young people with Specific Learning Difficulties (dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia), as well as speech and language, and sensory integration difficulties. We also admit a small number of children with Asperger's Syndrome.
We offer day or boarding places from age 8 to 16, with full, weekly, or flexi boarding being available. Day pupils may board occasionally by arrangement if we have space. Since becoming co-educational six years ago, our number of girls has increased every year, and we now have girls in almost all year groups. We now have boarding facilities for girls, in a newly converted, spacious house set in its own gardens. The boys are quite envious!
We are happy to welcome new pupils at any stage of the School Term or Year, but we do not admit new students into Year 11, nor usually into Year 10 once the year has started as this can prove disruptive to others.
About half our pupils are privately funded, and half funded by their LEA. No less than 16 LEAs currently place pupils with us, and we have pupils from all three main arms of the Services. We welcome pupils from overseas, but are unlikely to be able to accept children for whom English is their second language.
