A father is taking legal action against two schools and a council, claiming they failed to identify his daughter’s severe dyslexia.

Raymond Golding, 62, is seeking £225,400 from Essex County Council, Shalford Primary School and Tabor Science College, Braintree.

His 17-year-old daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia at 13 after her learning difficulties were flagged up by teachers at St Felix School, a private school in Southwold, Suffolk.
