Flax Hill Primary School Receiving their Award

Schools in Tamworth have been recognised for being Dyslexia friendly after receiving a Level 1 Renewed Dyslexia Friendly Status at a special ceremony in Stafford earlier this week.

A host of schools in the Tamworth area were awarded the Level 1 Renewed Dyslexia Friendly Status, which recognises the work the schools do to assist those with Dyslexia.  The Tamworth schools awarded during the cermony in Stafford were:

  • Flax Hill Community Junior School
  • Florendine Primary School
  • Greenacres Primary School
  • Glascote Heath Primary School
  • Heathfields Infants School
  • Wilnecote High School
  • Wilnecote Junior School
  • Dosthill Primary School
  • Woodlands Primary School

All the schools went through a rigorous process which involved an audit of current practice, self assessment, staff training and development of an action plan to improve practice.

County Councillor Veronica Downes, Cabinet Member for Schools said:

“This is an excellent achievement and I would like to congratulate everyone involved and thank them all for their hard work towards achieving this award. This is another step forward to develop fully inclusive links for pupils with dyslexia within Staffordshire’s schools.”
