Developed with international dyslexia expert Neil Mackay, originator of the concept “Dyslexia Friendly Schools”, Nessy has created the Leaders in Dyslexia Quality Mark.

“Getting it right for the 20+% of learners on the
dyslexia spectrum actually gets it right for all.”
- Neil Mackay
The Leaders in Dyslexia Quality Mark offers schools a unique, web-based opportunity to develop and enhance their ‘quality first’ teaching. Your schools will be guided through a comprehensive self-audit process. Attaining the coveted Quality Mark is a 5-step process that can be completed in your own time. You’ll receive recommendations for how to achieve best-practice policy and receive training on effective methods to help students during regular classroom instruction.
Attaining the Quality Mark award will improve everyday teaching practices and ensure your school has the highest standard of provision for students with dyslexia.










Undertaking the Quality Mark will give you expert analysis and feedback to ensure school policy meets best-practice standards. Presented by the internationally recognised expert Neil Mackay, you’ll have access to 3 hours of training on issues around improving spelling, reading comprehension, confidence, and motivation. Additionally, all school staff will gain access to Understanding Dyslexia, a video training course by Nessy containing exclusive content.
