Specialist Provision

Abingdon House School provides a whole school approach for pupils who are diagnosed with a specific learning difficulty early in their education and who would respond well to intense intervention for a short period of time.

We are here to listen and advise; we have a highly skilled and professional team for your consultation. Each pupil has an Individual Education Plan with targets reviewed at the end of each term. This individual ‘menu' may change each term as staff select from the ‘menu' the most appropriate provision for each pupil, depending on the outcomes of the previous term and the pupil's needs. Pupils receive a combination of class, group and individual lessons.

We aim to provide and advance the education of children with specific learning difficulties and to provide facilities for diagnosing, assessing and advising on the treatment and education of these children.

We aim to prepare these children for a return to mainstream schooling through: the provision of a holistic and individually tailored education programme, by providing an environment that develops self-confidence and personal success and by maintaining an appropriately low pupil to teacher ratio, typically 1:7. Within group lessons this is often lower.
