An award recognising the achievements of a dyslexic boy has been won by his sister.

The Toby Achievement Award was set up by Oldfield School in honour of Toby Lampitt, who -- as well as having dyslexia -- suffers from hearing problems.

He was expected to fall below his academic targets across all subjects in the curriculum during his time at primary school. But through hard work and determination, he managed to perform just as well as his peers in the end-of-year SAT exams.

Now the school gives an award each term in his honour to the pupil showing the greatest improvement across a range of criteria, including class work, behaviour and handwriting.

And the latest recipient is Toby's eight-year-old sister Becky, who received 208 merits during the autumn term -- the most in the school. The award is sponsored by Toby Carvery, whose local manager Brian Moyle handed over the prize of a certificate and book token.

Carole McNee, a learning support assistant and school mentor who worked with Toby Lampitt, organises the award.

Mrs McNee said: "We are proud to present Becky with her award, as she has put so much effort into all aspects of her school life this term.

"We hope the award will encourage other pupils to reach their full potential."

Mr Moyle added: "The achievement Becky has shown is an inspiration to us all, and we wish her and her brother every success for the future."
