Promote Your School is thrilled to actively support the campaign. We’re huge advocates of reading for pleasure and, in our work with schools, we see first-hand how it impacts children of all backgrounds and abilities. Reading matters, but reading levels in young people have dropped to their lowest level since 2005. Fewer than 1 in 5 children read daily. And that’s why the Go All In campaign is more important than ever.
So, this year, we have donated a fully bespoke, literacy Wall Art project to support the National Year of Reading. Initially, we worked closely with National Literacy Trust to discuss how the Wall Art prize could be used as an incentive for participation. Then, National Literacy Trust selected the winner from the hundreds of schools and early years settings. They had all reflected on their reading for pleasure practice in the spring term. The LMS is offered to schools, free of charge, as part of the Go All In campaign. Thousands of schools have already used the system. And they continue to add updates about how they’re embedding reading into all they do.
National Literacy Trust was so impressed by one school’s efforts that they have awarded them the prize. Our Lady and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Lymington has won a bespoke designed and printed literacy Wall Art project!
“Reading transforms lives, opens doors, fuels imagination and gives every child the chance to succeed, regardless of their background.”
Our Lady and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School has won a literacy Wall Art project, which they can use anywhere in their school. The prize includes;
There is absolutely no cost to the school. And they’ll be able to feed in their own ideas and vision for the project.
Our design team will then apply their experience to create bespoke artwork that meets the brief. We’ll share the designs with the school for feedback. And, as is standard with all our projects, the school can make as many amends as they wish (within the original brief). So they only need to approve the designs when they’re 100% happy!
Our installers will visit the school prior to installation day. And this will ensure the area is ready so all goes smoothly. Then, the most exciting moment, Our Lady and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School can unveil their new Literacy Wall Art project to the school community. We will add further exposure by taking photos and videos of the Wall Art and sharing a case study across our digital channels.
Congratulations, Our Lady and St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School!
We’re delighted to support National Literacy Trust in their Go All In campaign. As a former teacher and education leader, I have seen first-hand how crucial reading is to children’s attainment, health and happiness.
We are big admirers of the work National Literacy Trust does to fuel literacy and encourage reading for pleasure. So, this Wall Art donation is our way of supporting the campaign and doing our bit to make the magic of reading more accessible to schools.
It’s not too late to get involved in the National Year of Reading Go All In Campaign. There are loads of ways to embed reading into everything you do as a school. And, National Literacy Trust can support you every step of the way.
