Benefits

(to pupils, school, others)

This initiative has broken down barriers between schools and new friendships have been formed. These new friendships and links have been achieved through the love of reading and passionate debate revolving around books.

The groups in all schools have introduced a number of initiatives to encourage non-readers to read e.g. 'See the film now read the book', Historical Ghost Walks with storytelling, Writing Raps, Drop Everything and Read events.
