Jimmy's Story
How Jimmy went from Bottom of the Class to Top of the Class
Jimmy is a looked after child. He failed Key Stage 1 SATS aged 7, in fact he was so behind that he wasn’t even able to register a score! A teacher at his school had just finished training as a dyslexia specialist and picked up that Jimmy was dyslexic. Jimmy had 1 hour a week of specialist support and left primary school aged 11 having scored the highest levels in KS2 SATS in English, Maths and Science. Jimmy's now flourishing in his secondary school.
