In an extraordinary international collaboration with New Era Education, Moon Hall has successfully transformed a visionary concept into reality with the opening of Moon Hall Cairo (moonhallcairo.com). This state-of-the-art learning centre, now fully operational, was brought to life from its
initial concept in just 14 months; a remarkable feat compared to the typical 3–4-year timeline for a project of this scale. The launch brings Moon Hall’s renowned dyslexia-specialist ethos to Egypt, offering tailored education and assessments to meet the growing needs of children and families across the region.

“It is a tremendous honour to bring the Moon Hall vision to life in Egypt through the launch of Moon Hall Cairo,” said Lucy Pelling, Head of Assessment Centre (UK) and Founding Head of Centre (Cairo). “This project represents an ambitious step forward - not only in scale, but in impact. To have taken it from concept to completion in just 14 months is a remarkable achievement, and I’m thrilled to see the Moon Hall ethos now making a difference internationally. We are proud to extend the excellence and integrity of our work to families in Egypt, and to offer the same specialist care and insight that has transformed lives in the UK.”

In tandem, we are thrilled to introduce the rebrand and official launch of the Moon Hall Assessment Centre UK (mhacuk.com) website - operating as a standalone, enhanced provision, from the Moon Hall School Reigate site. With a refreshed identity, Moon Hall Assessment Centre provides means-tested, in-depth assessments for both children and adults. As demand for diagnostic services continues to rise, the assessment centre
plays a critical role in closing the gap between need and access,
ensuring individuals receive the timely support they deserve.

Moon Hall Assessment Centre has transformed access to specialist assessments for children with specific learning difficulties, removing longstanding barriers that have hindered timely support. By working closely with parents, local schools, and professionals, we’ve developed a vital service that ensures no child is left waiting unnecessarily for the help they need. Across the UK, families often face assessment wait times of 18
months or more through Local Education Authorities (LEAs). Moon Hall Assessment Centre has reduced that wait to an average of just 8 weeks, enabling early diagnosis and early intervention - both critical in shaping a child’s long-term educational success.

Our means-tested model is central to our mission: it ensures that
assessments are accessible regardless of a family’s financial
circumstances, so that cost is never a barrier to crucial support. Early identification unlocks the pathway to tailored support plans, appropriate access arrangements, and specialist teaching strategies. This not only improves academic progress but also builds confidence, resilience, and self-belief in children who often feel left behind in educational settings.

These dual developments underscore Moon Hall’s unwavering
commitment to the future of specialist education and to addressing the urgent, high-volume demand for accessible, high-quality assessments both nationally and internationally.

“This is so much more than an expansion - it’s a statement of purpose,” said Mrs Michelle Catterson, Executive Headteacher at Moon Hall. “The opening of Moon Hall Cairo and the launch of mhacuk.com represent our long-term vision to elevate and provide easy access to assessment, understanding, and support. These are steps we take seriously, with integrity and dedication to meaningful societal contribution.”

In line with our maintained vision of equity, the Assessment Centre
welcomes enquiries from anyone - you do not need to be connected to Moon Hall School to access its services.
