Did you know that this week was Dyslexia Awareness Week? Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty which primarily affects reading and writing skills. However, it does not only affect these skills. Dyslexia is actually about information processing. Dyslexic people may have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear, which can affect learning and the acquisition of literacy skills. Dyslexia can also impact on other areas such as organisational skills. It is important to remember that there are positives to thinking differently. Many dyslexic people show strengths in areas such as reasoning and in visual and creative fields. The British Dyslexia Association have created a useful parent/carer information guide which contains activities and support for parents/carers. You can find the pack here: https://www.bdadyslexia.org.uk/resources @britishdyslexiaassociation #WeAreArchbishops #ArchbishopsSchoolCanterbury #Kent #Canterbury #SecondaryEducation #Dyslexia #BritishDyslexiaAssociation #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek

This week’s #FeatureFriday is dedicated to our Year 7 student cohort. On 09 October, we welcomed a representative from Bite Back as part of their school engagement programme. @biteback2030 is a youth activist movement that challenges food companies and policy makers to make a real difference. Anisah, a Bite Back representative worked with our Year 7 students to enhance the correlation between Food Technology and PSHE; in doing so, the aim is to develop their understanding of the food system and how it is marketed to us. For more information on the work that Bite Back do, visit their website here: https://www.biteback2030.com/ #WeAreArchbishops #ArchbishopsSchoolCanterbury #Kent #Canterbury #SecondaryEducation #BiteBack #HealthyChoices
