Who are we?

We are a Specialist School in Kent for children aged 5-11 years (Years 1-6).  We cater for pupils who have additional needs whether working below or above age appropriate expectations and for children who require extra nurturing and support.

The majority of our pupils have Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCPs).

Some of our pupils enter the school having fallen behind their peers leading to a lack in confidence.  We can encourage them to develop a positive approach and a determination to succeed. Read more About Us.

In June 2021, we celebrated our 10 year anniversary! See all the photos!
Birtley House School are delighted to have achieved the Dyslexia Friendly School Quality Mark with the BDA in June 2022.

What we can do for your child

What our parents say about us…

“All the things I would like to say about Birtley House will never fit in this box! I am so grateful to everyone at the School for helping my son settle and finally be able to access education again. To say it has changed our lives is no exaggeration. My son is no longer the child on the periphery, desperate to be involved, he finally has friends and feels like part of a community/family at School. He isn’t scared to approach an adult anymore through fear of not being listened to and understood – he knows he can talk to anyone and receive empathy. Everything about Birtley House is right and it shows. I only wish they had a secondary setting as I am not sure anywhere else will compare. I will be forever grateful for turning such an awful time in our lives around and giving me back my happy child.”

“Our time at Birtley so far has been fantastic and it’s so wonderful to see my son so happy and excited to go to school. His learning has come along so much in his time there and he gets so much help. We always get help when we need it and we always feel comfortable to contact the school with any issues we do have. We appreciate each and every person at Birtley!”

“Birtley House provides an outstanding learning environment for our child. Having been anxious to the point of school refusal, left behind, and completely unsupported in her previous mainstream school, our daughter now feels settled and able to be herself in a truly supportive setting.

Whist her social anxiety remains – and would likely do so in any setting – Birtley’s comprehensive knowledge of addressing the technical learning challenges she faces removes many of the significant barriers she faces to accessing learning which, combined with the level of pastoral care she receives, means those anxieties are managed well and in full partnership with ourselves as parents. Thank you!”

“My daughter is doing well & is very happy at Birtley House. & doesn’t have the anxiety & tummy aches she had in a main stream school. The only downside is she will have to leave in 2 years.”
