Hi
My first post here ...
My dd is nearly 7yrs & moderately dyslexic. I'm looking for a school that can give her the support she needs, ie daily help within the classroom and perhaps one to one 2 or 3 times weekly.
Anyone near Newcastle, would love to meet up. Feel like I'm the only one going through this.
Anyone with advise/experience of state or independent schools?
Many thanx

Two quick questions because I have to go soon

Does your daughter have a statement?
Are you looking at mainstream or special schools?

Have heard good reports about Durham High. Local dyslexia support group www.dyslexianortheast.org/ - they should be able to give you advice - based at the Royal Grammar School Newcastle
