Your school needs you! 📚

As our friends at Read for Good will tell you, it's well established that reading for pleasure leads to significantly better outcomes for children – boosting academic performance, enhancing wellbeing, and fostering vital life skills like empathy.

But did you know that 1 in 5 children don't have a book at home? And 1 in 7 primary schools in England have no library space at all, affecting more than 750,000 children. 

It's time to #rebuildthelibrary.

Our annual schools prize gives five schools across the UK the chance to win £1,000 in National Book Tokens so they can fill their library shelves with new books. Each winning school will also receive £300 in cash to make improvements to their library space, making it fun and welcoming for all.

Please nominate St John's and if we are one of the five winning entries, you'll also win a £100 National Book Token to spend in your favourite bookshop!
