July has been a really exciting time for Treloar School—only this month, the school has won 2 extraordinary awards for its commitment to excellence in the fields of literacy and physical education, proving that students’ needs, progress and well-being are at the heart of everything the school does.
On Sunday, 7 July, Treloar School was awarded the UKLA (UK Literary Association) Diversity and Inclusion Award for its literacy curriculum. This is a fantastic recognition of the hard work and dedication towards creating and developing personalised and bespoke curriculums which enable Treloar’s students to achieve their best and meet their full capabilities. This award is testament to the strong collaboration between Treloar’s Speech and Language Therapy Department and the Education team. Caroline Weighton, Deputy Head of Speech and Language Therapy at Treloar’s, and Lisa Bond presented the curriculum to attendees of the UKLA conference held at Sussex University after receiving their award.
