Mia Headington found out she had dyslexia the day before her first GCSE exam, but the diagnosis didn’t faze her. Opening her results envelope on Thursday morning, the 16-year-old found out she had done much better than in her mock exams, achieving five A*s, an A, two Bs and a C.
“I am chuffed,” the Maesteg school pupil said. “I didn’t expect to do this well, although I’m going to resit the C in English Language. The essays were difficult. Now I know why!”
