Moon Hall School for Dyslexic Children is Independent Primary school in Surrey for kids aged 7 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
The pupils are encouraged to embrace their wonderful and often creative way of thinking and celebrate – not fear – their dyslexia (after all, they are in illustrious company – including Walt Disney, Richard Branson and Albert Einstein). They understand that for some children school will be challenging but, by providing specialist support, they ensure that all the pupils will achieve their potential during their time here. The evidence is that a well-supported child, one benefitting from dedicated teaching, can reach beyond original expectations. They invest significantly in ensuring that the teaching staff are highly trained in the best methods to meet the needs of the pupils and they focus on staying up to date with research and advancements in teaching dyslexic and dyscalculic pupils.
Junior Curriculum
In Key Stage 2, they provide a full curriculum education with emphasis on literacy and numeracy. Some children benefit from a curriculum in English and/or Maths which gives them the opportunity to move at a pace enabling them to consolidate their learning, whilst others benefit from an accelerated curriculum. They take very seriously the importance of having a firm base in literacy and numeracy on which to build further academic achievement and the importance of acquiring the skills needed for a happy and successful life. The wider curriculum offer is rich and varied. Pupils are taught Science, Geography, History, IT, Art, PE and Games, all of which are led by subject specialist teachers who also deliver that subject to pupils in the Senior School. Subject specialist teachers are experts in their field, which aids the pupils’ smooth curriculum journey, whilst also helping with the transition to the Senior School at the end of Year 6.
Senior Curriculum
The Senior School covers the Key Stages 3 and 4 of the National Curriculum. they take children from our Junior School, from Moon Hall, Dorking and from other schools into Year 7 and into more senior years if there are vacancies.Currently, every pupil, whatever their difficulties, will sit three core GCSE examinations in English Language, Maths and Biology. In addition, they are able to take English Literature and are encouraged to select from another eleven or more options of GCSE or GCSE equivalent subjects
Extra Curricular Activities
Free Learning and the opportunity for children to develop educationally and holistically through following their own interests is a priority which enables us to help children develop an enquiring approach to, and a love for learning that they will take beyond secondary school. Children are given every opportunity to lead their own learning, investigate and develop knowledge, skills and positive attributes through having a broad range of extracurricular activities and clubs available to them. The clubs vary from term to term depending on the season and the demand.
