The aim of The Old Rectory is to help children realise their true potential within a family environment. In their past schooling they may well have been misunderstood and their problems blamed on laziness or stupidity. Constant failure may well have resulted in the child suffering from a severe lack of confidence which will only be corrected in a sympathetic and understanding environment. It is for this reason that The Old Rectory has been established. Children enjoy the comfort, security and care of a family atmosphere as well as receiving specialist and individual remedial help.
Depending on the severity of their difficulties and on their progress, children remain at the Old Rectory for A MINIMUM OF ONE YEAR AND A MAXIMUM OF TWO YEARS. The Head believes that it is her mutual responsibility with parents to find suitable placement in other schools when children leave.
Children have been successfully placed back into preparatory schools or gain entry to public schools.
Children enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities and some boys participate in sporting activities with neighbouring IAPS schools.
