Please see below a blue ribbon, this symbolises Dyslexia Awareness Week. We have asked all staff to support us with this venture by wearing a ribbon all week. Pupils will receive a Dyslexia Awareness lesson this week during PHSE. Further to this we have encouraged staff to participate in a pen free lesson (see Miss Tullis in action!).<\/p>\n
