 "An outstanding teacher universally acclaimed by colleagues, pupils past and present, and by parents"

That's how the judges of the Teacher of the Year Award described Calder House's Head of Science, Mr Perks who came second in the 2010 Regional Final. More than 9,200 teachers entered the competition which covers the whole of the South West Region.

About us

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
