Special Education Needs

Sibford School is a mainstream school catering for children aged 3 -18. We have a national reputation for our work with dyslexic children and up to 30% of our children enjoy a range of additional support - this could be up to a maximum of 5 individual/small group sessions a week. We are registered with CReSTeD (The Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexic Pupils) who, following their 2008 inspection, noted: 'The ethos of the school is one of developing the whole child and providing the best opportunity. The [Dyslexia] department ensures full entitlement and access for dyslexic pupils to high quality education within a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum. In so doing the children are enabled to reach their full potential and to integrate seamlessly into the mainstream.' As a Quaker school, we value that of God in everyone and seek to develop and nurture individual talents. This often finds its expression in art, music or drama, but we offer the full curriculum, enriched by an impressive range of extra curricular activities, especially for our boarding pupils. A limited number of learning support places is available each year; we believe that our pastoral care is second to none and take pride in producing young people who are self-confident but not arrogant. Our value added results consistently place us in the top 500 schools. We would be happy to give parent enquirers the opportunity to talk to our current parents, to visit the school, or make arrangements for your child to try a taster day.
