Airthrie School with Hillfield Dyslexia Trust is an independent non-selective day school for boys and girls, which was founded in 1940. The Hilllfield Dyslexia Trust, which is within Airthrie School, provides specialist advice and support to staff and some pupils of the school, but does not constitute a discrete unit for the teaching of pupils with dyslexia. The school has been run for many years by the current proprietors. It is registered for 180 pupils aged three to 11 years. There are currently 140 full-time and 29 part-time pupils on roll. There are no pupils with a statement of special educational needs. The school occupies linked Victorian houses in a residential area of Cheltenham. The site is adjacent to the extensive sports complex of a large public school and all pupils of Year 1 and above have access to this provision for sports. The school aims to realise the potential of all its pupils and produce well-rounded individuals. The school was last inspected in November 2008 as a light touch inspection, when it met all the regulations. Since then a progress monitoring inspection was carried out in February 2013 to follow up the school’s progress in implementing an action plan to improve its washroom facilities.
