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 figures over a ten year period, the average pupil:

• arrives with a very low or unmeasurable reading age
• spends just over two years at Calder House
• leaves with a reading age at least two years in advance of their chronological age
