From the Knowl Hill School
We are a small school established specifically to serve students with dyslexia and related learning difficulties. The "family" atmosphere at our school is one of its key characteristics. Knowl Hill School takes pleasure in creating a joyful, loving setting where our kids can grow and succeed. Additionally, we think that every one of our students has special abilities. Recent studies on kids with dyslexia and other learning disabilities have shown that these kids also have skills because of the way they see the world, including in math or the visual arts. At Knowl Hill, we like to take advantage of these assets by providing a curriculum catered to their unique talents and teaching all topics in a more innovative manner. We hope that our website will offer you a flavour of the school, but if you have any questions, please get in touch with the office at [email protected] or by calling 01483 797032.
