Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD)

Blossom House is proud to be accredited as a ‘CReSTeD’ school in the ‘Specialist Provision Category’ (Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexic pupils), which recognises our expertise and extensive dyslexia support and provision. We have been a registered CReSTeD school since 2010. Our school is also a member of the British Dyslexia Association (BDA).
Our team of dedicated Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) teachers are all qualified to either Level 5 or Level 7 in SpLD and oversee the SpLD provision across all phases and Blossom House sites. They are all trained in the Unicorn Maths Course, accredited by OCN at Level 2, equipping them to teach maths to pupils with dyslexia and/or dyscalculia. They are able to provide small group, paired or 1:1 intervention on a needs basis for Literacy and Maths across the school.
‍
Many of our pupils are considered to have an SpLD presentation. The teaching styles, methods and resources we implement across lessons benefit all of our pupils, regardless of whether or not they have a formal diagnosis of SpLD. A high number of our Literacy/English teachers, have been trained to OCR/BDA Level 5, and some to Diploma Level 7. Additionally, all staff receive in-house training around awareness of dyslexia, and strategies to support pupils with these types of difficulties.


“Each year that goes by continues to amaze, surprise, educate and delight both our children and parents. We indeed are very proud of our school and what you the teachers provide for our children. Amazing work, amazing staff! Thank you so so much!
We are loving what you do!”



‘‘You have done a remarkable thing for my child and for all the children at the school, as well as all of the families, even as far as the reach of the extended families and the community by creating the unique school and community that is Blossom House.”



“What an absolute godsend it was for us to find you. It was the turning point in his journey, and I wanted to let you know that you’ll always have our family’s thanks and appreciation.”



“Thank you very much for the meeting earlier and for all you do for our beautiful boy.
The way you all talked through everything he has achieved was wonderful… it hasn’t been an easy journey for us to start at anew school in a new country. It was a good decision and it is so good to see that he is starting to achieve his potential.”



“I would like to also thank you for the quality and professionalism with which you have handled my child’s assessment, I now better understand the provision and also my child’s needs.”



“I can tell that the detailed approach you take during the admissions process is testament of how much you want to understand each child in order to make sure you can meet each child’s needs at Blossom House.”
