CReSTeD schools - for the teaching of children with dyslexia


CReSTeD school reviews
If your child is in need of some specialist help with dyslexia, (and other associated difficulties such as dyscalculia or dyspraxia) you may wish to consider a school that is registered with CReSTeD. The majority of CReSTeD schools are mainstream, independent schools.
A fee is payable to CReSTeD, by schools, for registration. The focus of a CReSTeD assessment is very much on dyslexia provision at the school. There is no obligation for schools to register their dyslexia specialism with CReSTeD and a good number, with very highly regarded provision, do not.

So how do you determine if a CReSTeD registered school will be right for your child?
 

About CReSTeD registration


CReSTeD registered schools are assessed by CReSTeD, the council for the registration of schools teaching dyslexic pupils, for their suitability to teach children with dyslexia. Category SP schools are suitable for children needing considerable input to help them cope with their specific learning difficulties; they offer finely tuned provision with a primary focus on dyslexia . Schools in the WS category support children by withdrawing them from their class on a number of occasions each week. Withdrawal is usually for English though may also be for maths or other areas of difficulty.

How good are CReSTeD schools?


Some are very good indeed but, to get a picture of all the schools have to offer, do where applicable, read The Good Schools Guide reviews and check inspection reports from Ofsted and others. The Good Schools Guide reviews reveal what a school is really like; the  candid and informative accounts are based on visits to the school by our experienced and independent team together with information from parents and those who know the schools well.

Subscribers can read The Good Schools Guide reviews on line (remember to log-in),  alternatively The Good Schools Guide - Special Educational Needs book features, not only reviews of schools but, innumerable articles on the many facets of dyslexia and SEN.

Hordle Walhampton School, Lymington -  an independent, co-ed prep school for 2 to 13 year-olds, takes boarders.
Hot on spotting SpLDs and will arrange EP assessments. Go back to basics if necessary – fill in gaps. Very bright children get help too, if they need it. Children view one-to-one as a real treat, no stigma. Make great strides not just academically but socially too.
SP indicates specialist provision - these are schools established primarily to teach children with dyslexia.
SC indicates specialist classes
DU - schools with a designated uni...
