Have you ever wondered if your child would flourish more in a specialist school? 🧠
Research indicates that early intervention ensures the child has the opportunity to consolidate the foundations of numeracy and literacy, which in turn supports their learning across the curriculum.
Nicola Lovell, Head of Burlington House Prep School, a dyslexia and SPLD specialist school - shares some key considerations for parents exploring their schooling options.
👉 Is the mainstream school able to provide the variation in learning
techniques necessary to successfully support pupils with specific learning
differences (SpLD)? Research suggests that about 15-20% of people are
neuro-divergent (British Dyslexia Association) and so will not respond to
conventional teaching methods. Is your child within this group?
👉 What is the availability of qualified specialist educators for each pupil’s
unique profile? Qualified specialist staff makes a real difference; at
Burlington House Prep, we have a team of highly qualified SpLD teachers, therapists (OTs,
SaLTs and counsellors) who work together to make sure every child thrives and receives bespoke packages to support them holistically. This has lifelong positive benefits for our students.
👉 Does your child's current school provide smaller class sizes, calm learning environments and consistent use of leading assistive technology to support their learning? If not it may be time to explore further.
