Pilot Schools
Pilot Primary Schools
We are working with three amazing primary schools around the UK – one in London, one in Hull and one in Fife.
Dairsie Primary, Cupar, Fife
Our first pilot is now running at Dairsie Primary School in Fife. Dairsie is a small village school with classes that cross year groups and has a particular interest in promoting a reading for pleasure culture. We are working this term helping them to select ebooks for their elibrary that meet the interests of their pupils. The elibrary will launch at the start of their winter term 2024. Funding for the ebooks has been provided by St Andrews University from their Community Fund.
Other Pilots
We’ll post more information here about our other pilot programmes as they get closer to launch.
Become a Pilot School
Our Pilot schools will be trialling an overlay ebook library, selected specifically for their needs, and funded through ELFS.Â
We are currently looking to recruit ten pilot schools for Phase 1 of our programme. If you are a state primary school and would like to become one of our pilot schools please get in touch, and if access to digital reading devices is likely to be an issue for your pupils please let us know.
In our 10-school Pilot programme, we would very much like to cover all types of reading across all age groups, so would particularly welcome schools with a need in the following areas:
- Early years (Reception through to Year 2)
- Learn to read
- Reading for pleasure
- Reading to support the curriculum
- Years 3-4
- Learn to read – developing readers
- Reading for pleasure
- Years 5-6
- Learn to read – struggling/reluctant readers
- Reading to support the curriculum
