Slindon College is an Independent specialist day and boarding school which offers outstanding support and pastoral care for boys aged 8 to 18 with learning challenges in a variety of areas, particularly mild/high functioning ASD.
Between 75 and 90 boys attend the school at any one time, with typical class sizes of six to eight and never more than 12.
Emphasis on individual support
All classes enjoy the benefit of at least one Learning Support Assistant in addition to the subject specialist. The staff: pupil ratio is also high and there is great emphasis on supporting individual needs.
Day boys are admitted from Year 4 and boarders from Year 6. There is a thriving Sixth Form, where pupils can study a variety of Level 3 courses and many of whom go on to study at university. There is also a purpose-built bespoke “primary” department for boys in years 4, 5 & 6.
Academic and practical subjects
While being a specialist mainstream school delivering all the usual academic subjects, boys are also able to pursue practical, “hands-on” subjects to examination level. These include food technology, photography, graphics, textiles, motor mechanics and horticulture.
On average, our pupils obtain one grade higher at the end of their examinations in Year 11 than predicted on entry. Those who would not thrive in the hurly-burly environment of a bigger school will flourish in the small, caring, highly supportive community of Slindon College.
A wide and varied enrichment activities programme, embedded within the school day, encourages the pursuit of drama, outdoor activities and sport. We also have a variety of animals within our small farmyard area, including alpacas and donkeys.
Slindon College’s tailored curriculum
Our curriculum is tailored to meet the needs of the boys, providing help with literacy and numeracy difficulties, such as dyslexia and dyspraxia. Slindon College is also able to support boys with AD(H)D and mild ASD, such as Asperger’s Syndrome.
The College enjoys a rural setting at the foot of the South Downs in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with unobstructed views to the south coast. This enables us to host a variety of animals within our small farmyard area, including alpacas and donkeys.
