We were so excited to welcome Smriti Halls, an internationally bestselling children’s author! 🌟 Smriti led an inspiring assembly, met families for a coffee morning, and signed books for our pupils—sharing her love of storytelling with us all. Thank you to Learn to Love to Read


What an amazing two days we have had with Smriti Halls. Assemblies in four partner schools, four parent sessions, many books dedicated and signed, a coffee morning with our volunteers and lots of talk about the power of reading. Thank you Julia Rausing Trust for making this possible.


A VERY busy and rewarding week visiting wonderful schools throughout Wandsworth with Learn to Love to Read and getting to meet children, parents, staff and volunteers 💛📚 SO inspiring to see the work of this brilliant reading charity.



Our seventh inspiring author event was a massive success Ronald Ross with the wonderful Claire Linney. The children wowed us with their knowledge of Pablo Fanque and their enthusiasm for reading. Thanks to Julia Rausing Trust for making these events possible.



We had a wonderful time Hillbrook Primary School with the legendary SF Said last week thanks to the support from Julia Rausing Trust. Parents and children enjoyed an incredibly interesting and inspiring assembly and the queue to meet him after school and get books signed was very long!


Thank you to Tara from Learn to Love to Read who came in to talk to the children about her work, followed by answering questions from our pupil faith and school council, such as: Why is reading so important? Who is your favourite author? What is your favourite book?


A huge thank you to Masonic Charitable Foundation for our £5000 multi year grant #MCF grant which will help fund our early years classes. MCF.org.uk/community

We had the pleasure of hosting a very special author Heathmere Primary School with the utterly inspiring author, women's and refugee rights activist onjali rauf. Parents, children and staff learnt why she wrote her first book 'The Boy at the Back of the Class.' A morning never to forget!



Big news! 2026 has officially been announced as the National Year of Reading by Bridget Phillipson. We’re proud to join Department for Education to lead this national campaign to get the UK reading again. #NationalYearOfReading2026 nationalyearofreading.org.uk


READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. We need to help every single child enjoy all its lifelong benefits. That's why I'm excited to see the National Literacy Trust National Year Of Reading - and will support it in every way I can!


We are delighted to be supporting the amazing charity Learn to Love to Read which helps children in Wandsworth with their reading… and to sponsor the Felix Memorial Award, given to children who have made outstanding efforts - they will all receive a favourite book! ❤️
