One of our greatest elements of respect for Sophie is that she has dyslexia, and yet she took on the most difficult subjects at school, never letting this challenge stop her, being prepared to work hard to succeed. Sophie’s approach to life and learning makes her an outstanding role model both in the school and wider community.
