“I entered the Dyslexia Centre’s school following a difficult time in the state education system, where I was constantly excluded from lessons due to bad behaviour. When I left my state school of five years, my future looked bleak…. I was surprised by the time given to the individual, and the nature of care and security that the teachers provided for their pupils. Furthermore, a sense of friendship was obvious between the students – an important aspect of learning also.
… Clearly the ethos surrounding the school aimed to give more time to its students for learning and understanding, alongside a strong foundation of a stable commune. My progress has changed dramatically. 11 GCSEs, 4 AS levels, alongside 4 University places. My future is now looking bright.”

“Our world has been transformed by the school, and I know we are not alone, there must be hundreds like us.”
“This is one happy, emotional mother writing to say that achievements can be met! Thank you for all your support and understanding and for helping my child to succeed.”
“This was the best school in my life. When I left my heart was broken. It felt like leaving a family member for ever and I was so sad. I will remember this school for the rest of my life, and the great time here and everything I learnt. Thank you very much Belgrave for everything.”
“What you are providing for dyslexics is inspired and I have loved being part of it!”
“Before I first started at Belgrave I just thought I was stupid. Then I realized I was dyslexic and could do things. I have really benefited from this school and I hope other children will too.”
“We will never forget the support and help you gave us in our ‘time of need’. We are delighted with Alex’s results and he is so proud of himself. He is going to college to study BTECC Sports Science. Many, many thanks – you made all the difference!”
