An Introduction to Mayville Online School

What if my child requires specialised learning support?
Our outstanding Specialist Learning Support and Wellbeing Centre (Wyvern House) caters
or all mild to moderate learning differences, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, mild dyspraxia
and mild pragmatic language issues. We also support pupils who are coping with social,
emotional and mental health needs.
We take a holistic view that not all pupils learn at the same rate or in the same way and, through our expertise,
we are able to provide bespoke learning programmes. Pupils’ self esteem is also central to our support;
equipping them with life skills, coping strategies and confidence, as well as robust curriculum achievement.
An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is written by the pupil’s SEND tutor which provides summary details
of a pupil’s particular difficulties and strengths, along with detailed recommendations for online class support
and any specialist requirements. This is shared with the child’s other teachers, to ensure that individual needs
are met in each lesson.
The integration of technology supports and facilitates learning for students with learning differences. For such
pupils, Mayville Online has many benefits, as it generates immediate feedback, along with a multi-sensory and
individualised response, enabling teachers to set up personal and customised learning paths. Online learning
allows teachers to closely monitor progress and increase opportunities for inclusive learning, participation
and collaboration.
Mayville is regularly inspected by the Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexic Pupils
(CReSTeD), an independent body established to monitor and evaluate the standard of teaching and provision
for dyslexic pupils within the private education sector. From their most recent report (February 2020), Mayville
was graded ‘outstanding’ – ‘A school where students are listened to, supported, challenged and encouraged.
The level of support from the learning support team and from mainstream teachers is outstanding.’
