Best school for learning support/dyslexia

Post by Nearly over »

Which Watford/Bushey schools have the best learning support departments for pupils with learning difficulties, particularly dyslexia? I've heard Bushey Meads is good - has anyone had any experience with them or others? Thank you

Watford Boys Grammar is a specialist in this but only for boys of course.

My friend's son attends Edgerton rothesay school ERS in berkhampstead, which has developed his ability brilliantly. He has very severe dyslexia so is fully supported for funds for the fees.
I suppose it depends on the level of assistance your child needs to progress as to where is the best place for him. All main stream schools will support children with non severe dyslexia, the level of support varies not only school to school, but with the particular skills and focus of pastoral care professionals, who obviously can shift job location at any point in the duration of your child's schooling.
