Teaching Students with Special Needs

Ampleforth offers support for specific learning difficulties, with extra teaching to supplement work done in regular classes. The College has worked successfully with dyslexic students for many years, using a sensitive but unobtrusive style of support which preserves full curriculum access. The range of intelligence is as wide in dyslexic as in other students, and our approach aims to ensure that each individual will reach their full academic potential.

The Department's room is available daily for supervised prep sessions. This enables students to work in a calm environment where they can obtain help with academic problems.
