Belgrave School

Page Audio Transcript:

Belgrave is an independent special school (for children from 6 – 16 years ) that meets the needs of pupils with SpLD (dyslexia) and associated issues.

We cover KS2 to KS4, with about forty students arranged in five classes.
The KS2 class have their class teacher and a Learning Mentor. The KS3 and KS4 classes have their various subject teachers coming to teach them according to the timetable, but also have a class Learning Mentor who is responsible for their pastoral care. This means that the normal teaching ratio is1:5. However, as we have additional staff including an Occupational Therapist, Speech and Language Therapist and Teaching Assistants dedicated to certain pupils, the overal staff to pupil ratio is actually even better than this, nearer 1:4.
