Please see Parents’ Page for further details
The College is a new school dedicated to the provision of mainstream education to dyslexic teenagers up to GCSE. The College is the realisation of the vision of Moon Hall School and is a further stage in the development of Burys Court School, which Moon Hall acquired in 2005. The College has pupils in the age range 11 to 13 and is accepting pupils aged 11- 14 for September 2007.
Burys Court is the junior school to the College. It offers Nursery, Pre-Prep and Preparatory education for children aged 2-11. It provides mainstream "dyslexia friendly" education for the dyslexic pupils who join its Phoenix Dyslexia Centre from age 7 upwards.
Moon Hall School for dyslexic children to age 13 based at Belmont School, Holmbury St Mary continues as before working with Belmont to help re-integrate pupils into mainstream classes for Common Entrance. From now on, however, pupils there will be able to continue with the Moon Hall brand of education, if they wish, by transferring to Moon Hall College at age 13.
Ofsted Report 2006
Ofsted conducted an intensive four day inspection of Moon Hall College and Burys Court from 30th October to 2nd November 2006 and we were pleased that the ambitions in our mission statement are supported by their findings. The following quotes are extracted from the Ofsted Report.
“relationships are very good throughout the school and as a result pupils are becoming confident and self-assured young people”
“pupils are very positive about the school and thoroughly enjoy their education”
“The teaching overall is good. The staff are experienced and many have specialist qualifications related to meeting special educational needs….Because relationships are very good and there is effective and sensitive discipline, lessons run smoothly and often at a brisk pace. Classrooms are orderly and purposeful places, often with a quiet hum of focused learning….Throughout the school teachers generally have high expectations.”
‘Pupil’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. The grounds develop pupils’ awareness of the beauty of nature. They are taught to reflect on a range of spiritual and moral issues, and aspects of the human condition, such as care for the environment. There is a very strong emphasis on appropriate social behaviour and pupils report there is almost no bullying.”
