Reading for pleasure at Grangehurst.
Through the National Literacy Trust and BUPA, we were selected as a partner school to work with a local residential home. Funded through BUPA, we were one of 6 Primary schools in the UK who were selected to strengthen our children's world of understanding and of each other, through reading.
The programme continued to support our pledge to promote children's reading for pleasure, building their reading identity through events we held at a local residential home and here in school. The children and residents took part in storytelling workshops together, sharing books, which are then kept in the 'twinned' library on both sites. We were thrilled to be involved in such a unique and impactful programme, that allowed our children to communicate and explore storytelling through the generations, connecting with those within our community.
