“Nunnykirk is a good school with a wonderful, outstanding ethos.

	Nunnykirk is a non-maintained special school, approved by the Department for Education for pupils with Specific Learning Difficulties, where individuals are valued for themselves and where all are expected to give of their best. Starting a new school is always a daunting experience but you can rest assured that we will do everything we can to make the transition as stress-free as possible. Nunnykirk is a pleasant, friendly establishment where high standards, hard work and sensible behaviour are expected. Under these favourable conditions we expect to find the best in every pupil, build up their confidence, encourage social awareness, develop interests in sports and hobbies and then prepare them for further education. All the staff hope your son or daughter will benefit from the unique Nunnykirk experience. Simon Dalby-Ball, Head Teacher © 2006 Nunnykirk Centre for Dyslexia. All rights reserved.
