Phenomenal in Falkirk

Teacher Lisa Buick from Bainsford Primary School in Falkirk Council said, “During Dyslexia Awareness Week in Scotland, the Dyslexia Ambassadors in our school showcased their wonderful presentation to the other pupils. They spent many weeks preparing for this and very bravely decided that they would also like to share their own story about their experiences of having dyslexia. They have spent lots of time creating a wall display outside the classroom, sharing what our plans are for the ambassadors this term and displaying the work we have done so far.

Their efforts not only raised awareness but also inspired their peers and teachers to engage in meaningful conversations about inclusivity and support for pupils with learning differences such as dyslexia. These young changemakers are leading the way for good practice within our school, proving that with passion and determination, they can create a more understanding and supportive environment for everyone. Their commitment to fostering awareness and acceptance is a testament to their character and the positive impact they can have on our school community.”
