Best school for Moderate/ severe Dyslexia

[Trying4baby2021]

DS is 9 years old and has just been tested by an EP and has been found to have sever dyslexia in certain areas (Working Memory and Processing Speed). I've heard that Seaford college is good as well as Bedes. DS has gifted IQ level in visual spatial and has always been exceptional at building and visualising things. He does Lego and technics above his age without the instructions its amazing really. He will need somewhere which can accomodate his gifted abilities so that he can really harness them. He will likely need a reader and potentially a scribe if he can't learn to touch type. We are based in Surrey (Ockley) but are willing to move for the right school. Recommendations please ~:D

hi @Trying4baby2021.
I could have written your post.
my ds is also 9, dyslexic with high learning potential.
I am looking at Frewen college, Christ Hospital and Bedales.
happy to chat if you'd like to?
there are some very knowledageable people on here who give great advice.

Bruern abbey in Oxfordshire is opening a senior school.

Maple Hayes in Litchfield?

Have you considered somewhere like Appleford? or other school where primary need has to be dyslexia? There's a good list on the Crested website.

Also considering schools my my SEN daughter age 8. Dyslexia and working memory/visual processing issues. Appleford and Bredon offered places...can anyone share any thoughts or advice?

Are there other issues eg ASD? If not, I've heard amazing things about Appleford. If there are then you need to be sure Dyslexia type difficulties are the primary need as you might otherwise be better with a school that caters more for ASD.

Thanks. No, she doesn't have ASD or any behavioral challenges.

Moon Hall in Leigh near Reigate

Hello @Trying4baby2021 and @mermaidsvssuperheros , I have just found your posts - have a gifted boy, diagnosed dyslexic and possibly adhd or ASC. 8 and heading into Y4. Willing to move to find him the right school. I would so appreciate any experience or insight from the choices you might have made for your children and how that is working out?
