If you didn't see it, The Times today reported that Wynford Dore has taken the decision to close the Dore Centres (offering an exercise-based treatment for dyslexia) for financial reasons.
I am no position to comment on whether the approach worked or did not, and if it did, why it did. There are two observations I make:
One: Wynford Dore injected £15m of personal funding. His financial model was a private sector model with the long-term expectation that central government funding would be forth-coming. Although not a charitable financial model like many conductive education initiatives, there is a clear warning for us all.
Two: already evident in the article are those who are out to dance on the Dore grave. They will do so if we too fail.
