Many of the Teachers and Teaching Assistants are trained in working with Dyslexic children.

At Peatmoor we run a range of literacy intervention support programmes to enable children to develop their literacy skills. Many of these are IT based.

A multi sensory teaching and learning experience is our primary aim to support all learners, whatever their special needs.

Peatmoor classrooms are multi-sensory classrooms with the technology to support our practice.
