Today, we are sharing a new British Dyslexia Association report ‘Lost in the system: Councils’ blind spot on dyslexia’, which shows stark findings that dyslexic children remain largely invisible in local authority data across England. Only three out of 151 English local authorities could report how many dyslexic children live in their area, despite an estimated 900,000 dyslexic children in schools.
This lack of visibility has real consequences. Many children remain unidentified and unsupported, contributing to ongoing underachievement linked to dyslexia and literacy difficulties. In 2024, 26% of children left primary school without meeting the expected reading standard.
We’re calling on government and local authorities to record dyslexia in education datasets so dyslexic learners are visible and support can be properly planned and improved.
Please help share our findings and help raise awareness to improve outcomes for dyslexic children.
