Our aim is to tackle the poverty-related attainment gap by supporting quality CLPL opportunities for all in Talking and Listening, Reading and Writing.  

This will ensure that every child has the same opportunity to succeed. Children and young people should experience an environment that is literacy rich. 

 

Good literacy skills provide the building blocks not just for academic success, but for fulfilling careers and rewarding lives. Yet despite our best efforts too many children, particularly those from poorer homes, are leaving primary school without reaching the levels in reading and writing they need to achieve. 

Sir Peter Lampl, Chairman of the Education Endowment Foundation 

 

“Children cannot learn effectively when living in poverty, with long term impacts for the economy if their potential is left unmet…they deserve so much more.”
