Grange House School is a family-run school providing a diverse environment of black and white buildings set in the beautiful countryside bordering Herefordshire and Powys, complemented by the latest technology, facilities and up to date teaching methods catering for and designed around the needs of dyslexic pupils.
Highly qualified, experienced staff with a balanced Care/Teaching staff ratio provide pupils with unequalled educational, moral and personal education, which is the fundamental starting point in the holistic approach to teaching and care that is provided at Grange House. It is these basic principles that have established Grange House among the top specialist schools, accredited by CReSTeD as a Category A school with a 'whole school approach' to teaching dyslexic pupils.
Structured, multisensory and phonic work is continued through all subjects in conjunction with the National Curriculum and GCSE courses. All staff are conversant with Alpha to Omega and Hickey methods of teaching, and internal training maintains the high quality of teaching and assistants knowledge and capability. Staff are also trained in the management of ADD, ADHD, Dyspraxia and Dycalcula, as well as Speech Therapy as children with these additional syndromes are aided by this style of teaching.
Grange House specialises in Design, with a highly equipped Photography, Ceramics and CDT Suite, as well as Information Technology which is used throughout subject areas. The school's situation on a working farm provides ample stimulating excursions and activity ideas.
Orchard House, the Junior Department of Grange House caters for children from the age of 6 - 11, with its teaching to the same structure as Grange House, so that problems can start to be addressed as early as possible.
