The Lincolnshire Reading Pledge has been developed by Witham St Hugh’s English Hub and L.E.A.D. Teaching School Hub, working in collaboration with Professor Teresa Cremin (Reading for Pleasure & The Open University).

At Gosberton House Academy, we value the importance of Reading for Pleasure and the positive impact it can have. Our children take part in sensory story sack activities, take home library books and spend time exploring new books in our Story Den.

To achieve the award, staff and pupils worked towards meeting a range of criteria throughout the academic year. Our reading ambassadors have helped choose some new reading for pleasure books for school and discussed what they would like to see in the library. Some of our Key Stage 2 children go to the lunchtime Story Den club.

Thank you to all of our families, staff and children who have supported our reading challenges, shared reading for pleasure library books with your child and joined in our World Book Day activities both last year and this year. All of your support has contributed towards this achievement!
