Pupils flourish and grow in confidence, skill level, and self esteem. They learn to celebrate personal success as they become equipped for the challenges of the changing world. Through their daily routines they develop their commitment and enthusiasm for learning, as well as self-discipline.
We also provide consultations, lectures, guidance and home support for parents.
How are we different from a mainstream school?
Holme Court School is organised in a similar way to a mainstream school but with the added flexibility, specialist expertise and structures in place to accurately adapt a curriculum and timetable to suit the needs of each child with dyslexia and specific learning differences.
With only 10 pupils in a class, the small class sizes and high staff ratios, the school can offer an intensive, interactive response to an individual’s educational requirements.
Why is this effective?
Holme Court provision is effective because it employs techniques that have been identified by research as both impactful and measurable. We work closely with other professionals, for example, speech and language therapists
This enables us to work towards our aim, which is to help learners work towards returning to a mainstream setting or college. Pupils are provided with the tools, skills and strategies necessary to support their needs.
