Become a partner school

We partner with eligible schools in disadvantaged areas to deliver reading support and literacy resources to children who need us the most.

Since beginning in 2018, we have partnered with over 300 schools in England and Wales to deliver literacy support. Our mission is to instill a whole-school reading culture in every partner school and ensure every child can discover the power of books. If your school is interested in partnering with us, please fill out the form below.

A message from Paxton Academy

Our partner school, Paxton Academy, is a fantastic example of how we’ve worked with a school to create a whole-school reading culture. Through donating books and providing one-to-one reading support, the children have access to a range of diverse and inclusive literature.

Bookmark’s programme has recently helped our school in Ofsted ratings from ‘Inadequate’ to ‘Good with Outstanding leadership and management’. The recent Ofsted report even stated: “this school lives and breathes reading” – a monumental whole school change and testament to what can be achieved with help from key partners, friends, and the community.
