The Aims And Ethos
of Moon Hall School for Dyslexic Children
- To provide a complete
education for children of at least average ability who have been
found to be dyslexic by an independent Educational Psychologist.
- To raise the self-esteem of children who often
arrive discouraged and frustrated by their difficulties.
- To encourage our pupils to acknowledge their
strengths and talents and to help them develop these to their
full potential.
- To enable pupils to master basic literacy and
numeracy skills in as short a time as possible.
- To return them to mainstream schooling, usually
at Belmont, when they are ready - normally into Year 6. It is
possible to transfer earlier if sufficient progress has been made.
(We must be as certain as possible that children are moving into
success and not into a situation where they will re-experience
failure).
- All parents and pupils should feel that they
may approach any member of staff - teaching, administrative or
management with any concern at any time.
- We aim to be aware of parental opinion.
- There are two parental questionnaires:-
- One is completed when a child is accepted
and is largely about the physical health, social and educational
background of the pupil - although it also focuses on parental
aspirations for the future.
- A second questionnaire is sent out later so
that parental opinion can help formulate school policy. However,
such opinion cannot be allowed to dictate school policy and it
must be borne in mind that there will always be differing opinions
amongst parents regarding educational issues, etc.
- It is important to keep parents informed
and we send home regular newsletters and also have regular information
evenings.
