Grant News

UK schools and early years’ settings can apply for grants of between £1,000 and £5,000 to buy books for their libraries and encourage more children to read for pleasure.

The LoveReading4Kids Funding for Schools Scheme will help schools to provide children with a range of non-curriculum books to improve their reading standards, particularly amongst children experiencing disadvantage or underrepresentation.

Areas for Consideration will include:

• Schools with income deprivation or cultural deprivation
• FSM 
• IDACI
• Literacy levels 
• Schools looking to improve standards

Please note that any grant awarded will be awarded as credit to be spent on  www.lovereading.co.uk or www.lovereading4kids.co.uk and should be spent within six months of being awarded. 

Applications can be submitted at any time, with decisions taking up to three months.

PTAs are not eligible to apply, the application needs to come directly from the school.
