What The Good Schools Guide says..
Reading is taken seriously and a reading wall records numbers of books read by each boy during the term. For the group of pupils who reads the most, a huge bag of sweets awaits. Library is enticing: jam packed with adventure books and offset by jazzy mood lighting. Every Friday morning reception boys head for the forest school where they build dens, climb trees and jump in muddy puddles. Emphasis on impeccable manners: boys are expected to shake their teacher’s hand and look them in the eye as they say goodbye at the end of each day...

Special Education Needs
At Tower House we aim to ensure that all our staff have a thorough understanding of the educational differences of all our pupils and that the boys have access to a broad and balanced curriculum. We have an experienced SENCO who is also a specialist teacher for dyslexia and monitors the overall provision and support for pupils we are able to offer, as well as offering more specialist teaching for those who require it. Boys identified as in need of additional support are taught either 1:1, in small groups or in the classroom. These lessons take place within the school day with touch typing lessons after school for all those who wish to attend.
