About

Welcome to one of the original dyslexia specialist schools, initially established in 1997 to provide for primary school age pupils with dyslexia. Brown's school was founded by Mr. Martin Brown. Brown's is a specialist independent day school and is situated in Chelsfield in the Kent countryside.

The school is registered with the DfE to provide up to 90 places for boys and girls, aged from 11 to 18 years, from a wide range of neighbouring local authorities.

Brown's School helps young people whose education has been adversely affected by Specific Learning Difficulties, namely dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, or speech and language difficulties; Autistic Spectrum Disorder; Asperger syndrome; Auditory Processing Disorder; Verbal Dyspraxia; and ADD/ADHD.

At Brown's we aim to guide and support students on their academic journey and empower them to reach their potential. With small classes and a strong staff : pupil ratio, lessons are tailored to meet the individual needs of every student.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
