About Burlington House School
About Burlington House School
Burlington House School was established in 1998 as a pioneering school to allow children with Dyslexia the opportunity to access an academic education. Focussing on pupil personal development Burlington House School is at the forefront of bespoke education for not only SpLD but also any child who struggles in a traditional classroom. Our expertise in special needs education has provided us with unique insight into how children learn and how to build tailored programmes that help them maximise their potential.
Classes are typically small allowing the time for different learning styles to be tailored to each student. Pupils follow the National Curriculum and study towards their GCSE’s with the idea of moving to further and higher education. Difficulties like Dyslexia are catered for, but are not the main focus. Koen Claeys, Principal says, "Burlington House School is mainstream in structure, specialist in nature’
