Craiglands is an independent remedial school. We cater for children from Grade 1 to Grade 7 who experience problems in mainstream education due to learning difficulties. These children often respond positively to a small, secure environment, where their needs can be individually addressed. We focus on the child’s social, emotional and academic growth. Our aim is to re-introduce our pupils into mainstream education. We aim to be a home away from home where a child feels safe and part of the group.
We have seven classes of no more than 14 children in a class. We offer private occupational therapy, speech therapy, and physio therapy on the premises.
