Yearly Support to Transform Your School’s Reading Culture
Every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading.
But with increasing pressure on school budgets, it can be difficult to access the books, resources and professional development needed to create a strong reading culture.
Our School Network Programme provides eligible primary schools with ongoing annual literacy support to inspire reading for pleasure, engage families and create more opportunities for children to discover the joy of reading. Schools receive up to £1,000 worth of free literacy resources each year, alongside access to training, networking opportunities and practical tools that support reading across the whole school.
Check your school’s eligibility below and apply by 30 September 2026.
