St Olaves and dyslexia
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2018 12:36 pm
Hi all
Does anyone have any experience of St Olaves and how they deal with dyslexia for both the admissions test and then actually at the school?
What is required to be allowed extra time for the test and then what provision for dyslexic boys is there at the school?
My son is currently undergoing assessment for dyslexia on the back of a few mild concerns. So far his progress hasn't been impeded but his spelling isn't great and his reading fluency is a bit slow and muddled sometimes. He is in year 5. I may be jumping the gun somewhat as he may not even be dyslexic but thought I would ask the questions! And knowing what is required for these schools (my daughter is at Newstead) I wouldnt want to put him through it all if I didn't think he would cope or would get left behind.
Thanks in advance
