Recent developments in the early identification of Dyslexia have revealed a need for a local specialist school catering for younger pupils. Our experience has shown that pupils lose confidence and self esteem if their special educational needs are not addressed at an early age. Frewen College Junior school is situated in a separate building, detached from the main school.
Pupils have access to selected specialist facilities in the main school.
Modifications to the National Curriculum are made to meet the child's special educational needs, in terms of programmes of study, attainment targets and assessment and testing. We pledge that our pupils will learn to cope with their dyslexia and achieve their full potential. We prefer to think of ourselves as a specialist school meeting the specific needs of our pupils. We appreciate that pupils have often undergone barrages of testing in the past. We are interested in seeing the results of previous testing but informal testing will take place to determine specific needs and learning style.
