Learning Support
Dwight London’s Quest Programme, which has been in existence for 40 years, evolved from Oxford University’s tutorial mentorship model. Today, Quest combines research-based special education pedagogy with the creativity of design thinking to provide students with strength-based and innovative one-on-one or small group academic support and organisational training.
 

While the programme is designed to help students with learning differences succeed in the rigorous Dwight curriculum, the integration of Quest support services benefits all types of learners in the school. The goal of Quest is to provide the structure and expertise of trained educators to maximise every student’s academic potential.

Why Quest?

Quest is far more than academic support. The programme combines convenience and reliability of on-site support with the efficiency of a teacher well-versed in the Dwight culture, curriculum and programme expectations. Quest supports students throughout the school to meet with success and to achieve great things at Dwight. A Quest support programme created when there are barriers to learning such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, Autism, SLCN, ADHD, and physical impairments. 

THe Quest Department

As an independent international school, we recognise that students’ needs are diverse - and vary over time. Our Quest team is highly-experienced at dealing with students who have an SEND (and EHCP), be it cognition & learning, physical & sensory, language & communication or social, emotional needs. We can provide ‘specialist elements’ to the school day, within the context of a mainstream setting. Equally, we are welcoming and friendly to any student, who may have a challenge during their time at Dwight. We have our own school Counsellor with whom we work closely to provide support to students and families.

OUR FAMILIES

Working closely with parents, and getting to know our students, is at the heart of school success. We also know it’s important to get off to a ‘good start’, particularly if changing schools. Therefore, we will meet with you at the start of your Dwight journey to review your child’s educational history, previous challenges and establish the right level/type of support. The cost for this consultation is £250. Any future Quest support, provision and fees are outlined on our website in line with our Terms and Conditions. Where required, we can arrange other specialist providers, including our school-appointed Speech & Language or Occupational Therapist.

We offer a unique support care package for students and their families at Dwight School London school, in that teaching and learning is closely aligned to the lived experience, events and educational journey of a student. Working closely with parents enables us to better understand the children in our care, including the subtleties of a student’s ‘world view’ and tailor any intervention work accordingly.  It also fits our philosophy that no one individual’s knowledge is prioritised above another - including that of the student.
