Dyslexia is a learning difference which primarily affects reading and writing skills, as well as impacting information processing. Dyslexic people may have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear, which can affect learning and the acquisition of literacy skills. Dyslexia can also impact on other areas such as organisational skills. 

It is important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently. Many dyslexic people show strengths in areas such as reasoning and in visual and creative fields. 

As a school we aim to promote learning environments whereby children with dyslexia are given the help and support they need - even if their dyslexia hasn't been formally identified. 

The British Dyslexia Association (BDA) is the voice of dyslexic people. We aim to influence government and other institutions to promote a dyslexia friendly society that enables dyslexic people of all ages to reach their full potential.

Our Vision - A world where people with dyslexia can flourish.

Our Mission - To change society by removing barriers so that everyone with dyslexia can reach their full potential in education, in employment and in life
