Every Y7 pupil has participated, rising to the challenge of reading more than they would usually, and often different types of texts by authors they were not familiar with, all with the aim of enhancing their reading skills. Pupils who weren’t sponsored with money still joined in with real enthusiasm and commitment to their reading, so there was plenty to be gained all round.

I'd like to thank you for all the materials you sent, especially the posters and ideas for assembly, all have come in very useful.

Secondary School, Thornbury

What people are saying about Readathon

I love the fact that you're raising money doing something that I love. I'm going to try to beat my own record from last year which was 23 books.

Pupil, Secondary school, Grantham

What people are saying about Readathon

I had all but given up on trying to get my daughter (Year 4) to read but this has given her the push she needed. We can't stop her now. Thank you."
