We’ve had many mornings where he’s cried and not wanted to go to school

Frankie and Carter who now has an extra helper in class and is able to type instead of write at a school where lessons are more interactive

Before I continue, I want to explain that my children go to private school. I’m not sure why that feels like a “confession”, but I think it’s important to state that because I’m aware thatIn 2020, when Carter was in his first school year, my husband Wayne and I went to his 10-minute parents’ evening. We were expecting a run-down of his progress and how he interacts in class, only to be told that he needs to repeat his whole Reception school year.

When he finally turned eight last year, he was officially diagnosed with dyslexia. I foolishly saw this as the missing piece. That his teachers and us would now know exactly what to put into place to teach him in a way that he would understand. Unfortunately, this just wasn’t the case. Having the luxury of choice made me realise how lucky we are. Most don’t have that, but it also showed me how limited our options were. We needed somewhere that was able to give him the support he needs, maybe thinking outside the box, whilst still giving him that “normal” classroom experience. And a place that had a high amount of sport in the curriculum, as this is something that makes a tough day of learning enjoyable for him.
