Our School

Empowering bright boys and young men to transform their futures, in spite of challenges they may face with literacy and language processing, we offer a unique, mainstream academic education, realising remarkable academic and social success.  Set in nearly thirty acres on the edge of the Surrey Hills, we are the largest and leading specialist school in the country.   

Our innovative approach, with proven success over three decades, supports our students to discover their natural aptitudes and to pursue a broad and rich curriculum leading to GCSEs, A’ Levels and the BTEC equivalents.  They become proud of themselves and aspirational for their futures.  A majority progress from our Sixth Form to a breadth of universities; others pursue apprenticeships and other education and employment pathways. 

Before arriving at More House, many neurodiverse children have struggled in their previous school settings to make the progress of which they are capable.  Their self-esteem and confidence are weak, and they find it easier to recognise their skill-weaknesses rather than speak of their strengths.  Many are nervous about the future, and do not realise how clever they really are. 

Underpinned by pioneering university-led research, in our classrooms each teacher, in every subject discipline, practises high-quality adaptive teaching which looks beyond a student’s diagnostic label and, instead, focuses on supporting the four key learning functions of language, attention, memory and processing.  Our students also attend, together with their peers, timetabled therapeutic intervention sessions in our celebrated Learning Development Centre, delivered by our very large team of in-house Speech & Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists and specialist Dyslexia Literacy and Numeracy Tutors.
