My ds (year 11) is severely dyslexic. He currently gets extra time for exams, and that is the only additional help.
He is taking 12 GCSEs including the 3 sciences, Maths, English, Spanish.
He is predicted A* for 11 subjects and B/C for English.
He wants to study Engineering, and hopes to take Physics, Maths, Further Maths and Product Design for 'A' level.
I presume on the UCAS form there must be somewhere to put about being dyslexic. Will the lower English GCSE grade be held severely against him? Or will the strength of the other grades counteract as he has at least (hopefully) pased GCSE english?
