The Students

Most dyslexic children are intelligent individuals who, without acquiring specialist learning skills, under-perform educationally compared with their non-dyslexic peers. This frequently leads to frustration and occasionally, in the wrong environment, humiliation.

Being dyslexic simply means that your brain has developed with different strengths so that it learns in a different way and traditional methods of teaching do not allow for this. Moon Hall has over twenty years of experience at taking in dyslexic children who have been marginalised and unhappy in a traditional environment and teaching them in a way in which they can learn.

Berry Baker, Founder and Principal of Moon Hall, confidently tells parents that their dyslexic child will be a new person within 4 weeks of joining the Moon Hall environment - most see a change within a fortnight!

Moon Hall College will be of benefit to all dyslexic pupils. While some of their dyslexic peers move up to and cope in traditional senior schools some older children and teenagers require more individual attention for longer, or may have had the condition diagnosed later.

Moon Hall College will provide an environment dedicated to ensuring these special people have every opportunity to fulfil their potential.

A note about our 'Model Students'

At time of going to press on this website there were no senior school students - the intake for the 'Class of 2006' would not walk through the doors for another 6 months. Accordingly we had to recruit 'Models' for purposes of the photography you see on these pages.

With two exceptions - who happened to get roped in for the morning - all our models are themselves dyslexic to the extent they needed specialist learning support. Many had originally been at Moon Hall School, and all gave up a Sunday morning to support the Moon Hall College cause. Many thanks to Sarah, Phoebe, Alex, Fred, Joachim, Tom, Richard and William Pearson and Tom Hewitt. Thanks too to photographer John Aparicio, and his partner Kath who let him out for the morning!
