N London schooling with dyslexia

Our 9 year old daughter has dyslexia (but considered within mainstream educational range) and is not getting a great deal from her private N London school. We're having real difficulties spotting options in N London mainstream education, state or private, that will welcome her and offer her the full, integrated education she deserves.
Does anyone have any insights into good schools?

I don't think any school is good with dyslexia - besides the few very expensive dyslexia specialist schools.

I've been battling trying to teach 8 year old DD to read and write for 2 years now - and here's all the things I have so far found that work...

I've heard good things about Alexandra Park and Hampstead School (state mainstream) for their SEN provision. My information is a few years old though, so it would be best to contact the SENCO and ask what their current provision is like. Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Camden SFG might also be worth looking into - both fairly inclusive schools.

Would you be able to consider paying for schools like Fairley House or the Moat? They are expensive (and not N London) but she may only need a couple of years there before returning to mainstream as the support is much more intensive.

Sorry - have just noticed your DD is 9 - the schools I mentioned were secondary. Perhaps worth keeping in mind for the next few years though.
