About Chiltern Tutorial School by Bruce Gaudie
My wife, Jane Gaudie, had worked in mainstream primary education and trained and taught with the Dyslexia Institute. She felt that some children required more than a couple of hours a week dedicated to supporting their dyslexia. There was a need for a whole school approach in order that dyslexic children could reach their full potential. We developed the school in our own home and grounds in September 1995. On this site the school grew from three children to sixteen children.
In 2001 the school moved to new facilities in Otterbourne. The school now has places for twenty-four children and is registered with the Department for Education and Skills.
The aim of the school is to provide a happy, supportive and caring environment in which children who are not reaching their potential will be motivated to learn.
Children are provided with strategies to build up their
self - esteem and to acquire essential skills in order to make a successful return to mainstream education.
- Pupils have full access to the National Curriculum
- On entering the school the pupils are assessed and an Individual Education Plan is drawn up and then reviewed every term.
The school has a consultant psychologist available for parents to consult who also provides the teaching staff with support and advice.
