Calder House is a small, co-educational day school for children aged between five and 13 who, for various reasons, are out of step with their potential.

We offer a friendly, non-competitive environment in which children with dyslexia and other specific learning/language difficulties are encouraged to enjoy school while developing the skills they need to successfully return to mainstream education.

At Calder House each pupil follows an individual timetable tailor-made to meet the needs of both the child and the National Curriculum. Our average class size is just eight with a staff to pupil ratio of one to four.

We get results.

Based on our most recent figures over a ten year period (2001-2011), a typical pupil:

• arrives with an unmeasurable reading age or one that is more than two years behind their chonological age
• spends just over two years at Calder House
• leaves with a reading age appropriate for their chronological age or (in the case of one in three pupils) an adult reading age
