Learning Support

Thames Christian College is a mainstream school with recognised provision for a small number of pupils who find learning more difficult. We recognise that these pupils are well behaved and extremely gifted in creative subjects. By providing support in core academic subjects these pupils can become high achievers and inspire other pupils. Furthermore, teaching in a dyslexia-friendly way has been proved to raise standards for every pupil and benefit the whole class, even the most gifted.

Our excellent learning support has been recognised by CReSTeD, the Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexic Pupils, with our inclusion on their authoritative register of dyslexia-friendly schools, one of only a handful in London. Learning support is provided on a one-to-one basis, in a small group, or within the classroom, depending on need. Dyslexic pupils may, where necessary, follow a tailored curriculum taking GCSE exams in subjects that give them a greater opportunity for success.
