Special Educational Needs

After an initial assessment we will not hesitate to recommend bringing in one of our team of external specialists (typically Harley Street Speech Therapists or Educational Psychologists) to work alongside the tutor if we think that this will support the learning process.

We'd be delighted to answer your questions on 0207 350 1981, or you can fill in the enquiry form next to this page and we will contact you.

CASE STUDY - LEO (7 yrs)

Leo's family asked us to provide homeschooling. Leo was two years behing his peers in terms of literacy. He has suspected mild Aspergers and needed help with boundary setting and consequence. Leo also had a problem discriminating sound: he could hear normally but found it difficult to discriminate between different sounds, making blending and rhyming and phonological awareness very difficult. Our tutor worked with him each weekday morning to bring him up to the level at which he could rejoin school.

CONCLUSION

"Leo completed two "test days" at Fairley House yesterday. He loved the school and fortunately the feeling was mutual. We had a meeting with the headmistress yesterday afternoon and Leo will start there after half-term. It would of course be lovely to stay in touch as Leo may well need more help in the future, but while he is at Fairley House this seems unnecessary as the teaching there is already tailor made and he is lucky enough to be in a class of 5 pupils. Thank you so very much to both of you for all your hard work and expert help! Many, many thanks!"
Kind regards
