The culture and atmosphere are those of positivity, expectation and encouragement. Ofsted- 2022 Birtley House Independent School provides a positive, supportive and nurturing environment for children to learn.
We understand that every child learns differently and we offer a highly creative, multi-sensory curriculum which has been designed for children with a range of Additional Educational Needs. Work is aimed at each child's individual level so they can be challenged yet still achieve.
We aim to break the feeling of failure and frustration so often encountered and to help our pupils acquire essential skills, knowledge, confidence and self-esteem. Small class sizes help to achieve this and ensure each child receives the teacher's attention.
Our school minibus allows us to access regular experiences and opportunities outside of the school premises both locally and further afield. Our children gain a significant amount through these opportunities. We have excellent links with other schools in Kent, Bexley and London.
