What is Dyslexia?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dyslexia can affect as many as 1 in 10 and can affect anyone, irrespective of background, culture or abilities.\u00a0 In school we are mindful of dyslexia and support our children’s learning before confirmation of dyslexia is agreed.\u00a0 If you have any concerns that haven\u2019t already been discussed, please contact Mrs O’Neill, Depute Head Teacher.\u00a0 Mrs O’Neill is also our ASN Lead (Additional Support Needs).<\/p>\n

Dyslexia can be described as a range of difficulties in learning to read, write and\/or spell, which persist despite the provision of appropriate learning opportunities. These difficulties often do not reflect an individual\u2019s cognitive abilities and may not be typical of performance in other areas. The impact of dyslexia as a barrier to learning varies in degree according to the learning and teaching environment, as there are often associated difficulties.<\/em><\/p>\n
