Mark College is a specialist residential school for boys and girls aged 10 to 19 with specific learning difficulties including: language disorders, dyslexia, dyscalculia and dyspraxia. Students are offered a flexible curriculum that is tailored to meet their needs according to their individual difficulties.

Environment and specialist facilities

Mark College is centred on a Grade II Georgian house set in 24 acres of grounds on the edge of Mark village in Somerset. It provides a warm and welcoming environment in which students benefit from being with other students who share the same difficulties with language. The level of support and teaching methods are specifically designed to overcome the challenges that students with specific learning difficulties face.

Mark College follows the full National Curriculum and all students will aim towards completing national accreditations including GCSEs, A-levels,  BTECs and Diplomas which will be selected to accommodate the individual learning and preferred assessment styles of students. In addition to mainstream subjects, the school teaches organisational and study skills, with a particular focus on English and mathematics within the curriculum. Mark College is an award-winning school and has an international reputation for its educational work with dyslexic students.
