Dyslexia Scotland Awareness Week: 1-7 November 2023

We will be running a range of events across the school this year to raise awareness of Dyslexia Scotland Awareness Week.

This year, Dyslexia Scotland will be launching a special survey, to ‘take the temperature’ of what life is like for people with dyslexia in Scotland. The survey, designed in partnership with the University of Glasgow, will look at different critical areas of life such as identification, support and mental well-being. This is key part of Dyslexia Scotland’s strategic plan 2022 – 2025 towards a dyslexia-friendly Scotland.
