Dr Faye Favill
Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator (SENCO)
Dr Faye Favill moved into education following a background in scientific research and has now worked in teaching, special educational needs and specialist assessment for over 15 years. She currently serves as SENCo/ALNCo, specialist teacher and assessor at St David's College, where she teaches mathematics and leads specialist provision for pupils with a wide range of additional learning needs.
Dr Favill specialises in supporting learners with dyslexia, dyscalculia, language disorders, developmental coordination disorder (DCD), ADHD, and other neurodiverse profiles. She works closely with pupils, families, school staff and external professionals, including speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, educational psychologists, counsellors, and local authorities, to help ensure that young people receive the support they need to thrive both academically and personally.
Alongside her teaching role, Dr Favill is an Associate Member of the British Dyslexia Association (AMBDA) and holds an Assessment Practising Certificate (APC), enabling her to carry out diagnostic assessments for dyslexia. A significant part of her work involves guiding families through the process of securing Individual Development Plans (IDPs) and Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
Passionate about helping young people develop confidence, independence, and self-belief, Dr Favill uses tailored teaching approaches, assistive technology and practical strategies to enable every learner to achieve their full potential, both in education and beyond.
