Congratulations to the Cantell Reading Buddy Graduates!

We were delighted to be at the graduation of pupils who completed the Cantell Reading Buddies 2023 scheme in collaboration with the University of Southampton.

This project sees Key Stage 3 pupils paired with sixth form and university students to help build confidence with reading.

It was clear at the event, from the pupils spoken too, that the project has really helped them increase their enjoyment of books and also improve their reading.

At the event, Nazneen Ahmed Pathak, local author of The City of Stolen Magic, gave a very inspirational talk to the students about the power of reading and how it can change our lives.

This has been a fantastic project that we are delighted to partner with the University of Southampton with.  The University has bought all the books for the scheme through us which we are very grateful for.

We look forward to being at the graduation of students from St Georges this week.
