Nessy Learning Programme

Nessy Learning is an award-winning educational publisher that creates multi-media learning games, video content, and computer program, that are used in schools and homes in 192 countries around the world. The Nessy Reading & Spelling Program was the first cloud based educational learning program, and Nessy's Dyslexia Quest was the first app created for dyslexic learners. All of the Nessy programs were originally designed for dyslexic students between 5 and 16 years old but after it was discovered that they were effective for teaching all students to read, they began to be used as a general phonics based curriculum. The programs are developed and published by Net Educational Systems - now known as Nessy by British entrepreneur Mike Jones, who is dyslexic.

In 2019, a short film, Mical, was made about Mike Jones’ experiences as a bullied dyslexic child in school, and his Mother Pat Jones OBE's determined efforts to help him. Pat Jones’ work teaching her own son led to her becoming a dyslexia specialist and later forming the Bristol Dyslexia Centre and the Belgrave Schools in the west of England. Pat Jones was awarded the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth in 2015 for her services to dyslexic children.
