Dyslexia Sense

Assessment season is well and truly upon us! 📚 ✏️ 📝
Wishing all my pupils that are doing SATs this week the best of luck 🍀
Also thinking about all those students starting their GCSEs🤞My son is amongst them, so we are living and breathing it at home too 🤪🤩

📣 BOOKING NOW 📣 for dyslexia assessments in April and beyond 😊🧠📚

Happy World Book Day! 📚🥳
Always one of my favourite days! My kids are both in high school so dressing up is not cool anymore, but here’s a few of my favourite photos of them when they loved it! 😍

It's 2026! Let's work together to raise the profile of dyscalculia so that children and adults are given the right support and tools they need to succeed.

I’m so happy that the time I take to put the child at the centre of the assessment process, and to ensure my diagnostic reports are thorough and accurate is appreciated 😊 Thank you for your lovely feedback - it means such a lot 🙏🥰

I have one assessment slot left for March:
9:30am on Friday 20th March. Please get in touch to book 🧠🙌😊📚

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.

I’ve had a great morning back at work - visiting this lovely primary school in the hills. It’s always a stunning view, but even more so today with all the snow and bright blue sky 😍❄️☀️🕶️👌

Did anyone get a snow day today? ❄️ ⛄️ It’s business as usual at Dyslexia Sense. I’m looking forward to seeing my pupils today and catching up with some admin now the festivities are over. If you’re back at work today, hope it’s an easy start to the year!
