Caroline and Simon Tillett, British
Rebecca (7)
Before we arrived in Singapore two years ago, Rebecca was just entering Kindergarten in the
US. We started to realise that she wasn’t finding it as easy as some of her peers to learn how
to read, so it became apparent that she would need more support than what many schools
offered. A school search agency recommendedWinstedt to us, and we applied for a place. They
conducted a three-day assessment of Rebecca and concluded that they could offer her a place.
Our experience at the school has been amazing. Rebecca’s progress within 18 months
at Winstedt has exceeded our expectations. The school uses the International Primary
Curriculum, which teaches around a theme for the term – for example, toys or vacations;
this provides good structure for the children.
With small classes, teaching specialists and an in-house therapy unit, Winstedt ensures
all the support is integrated and all the students within this structure interact. The nurturing
and caring environment allows children who learn differently to develop at their own pace
and thrive. The staff are incredibly dedicated to the children and will often go above and
beyond to support them.
We would absolutely recommend The Winstedt School for children who need additional
help in their learning. We have never regretted our choice to enrol our daughter there; it’s
one of the best decisions we’ve made for her. The school has helped her develop into a
happy and confident child who continues to learn at a remarkable rate. As parents, there is
nothing more we can ask for!
