The LoveReading4Kids Funding for Schools Scheme

The LoveReading4Kids Funding for Schools Scheme accepts applications from state funded schools in the UK. Primaries, secondaries and early years’ settings are all eligible to apply.

The scheme provides funding for books with a specific focus on reading for pleasure, to improve reading standards, particularly amongst children experiencing disadvantage or underrepresentation. LoveReading4Kids does not fund textbooks or curriculum books.

Any grant awarded will be made in the form of credit to be spent within six months on the LoveReading4Kids online bookstore.

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