Dyslexia Awareness Week 7th to 13th October 2024

 According to the British Dyslexia Association, over 80% of dyslexic learners leave school without a diagnosis which can result in them facing barriers and missing opportunities.  The “Dyslexia Awareness Week” campaign aims to highlight the challenges faced by the dyslexic community and to challenge common misconceptions.
