How do I apply?

Applications for Your Story Corner are now open for schools in Wolverhampton. The deadline to apply is Tuesday 30 April.

Our eligibility criteria have been set to ensure we support the schools that need the most support – these are schools where the percentage of children receiving free school meals is above the national average and the percentage of Key Stage 2 children reaching the expected standard of reading is lower than the national average. The majority of schools in Wolverhampton will meet this criteria so, if you are unsure about this, please email school@bookmarkreading.org and we will be happy to help.

We will be distributing Your Story Corner packs to new areas soon.
