All too often children are labelled as having special needs, when really they have simply been let down by ineffective teaching, and can’t read or spell. On the other hand, there are cases where children have a medical diagnosis of special needs. In either case, we would welcome an opportunity to meet parents and discuss the situation. We have involved various experts in our curriculum design and we are confident that we will be able to support children with mild learning difficulties. Each case must be judged on its merits, and we will do everything possible to accommodate children who are capable of benefiting from our programme.
