To celebrate and encourage a lifelong love of reading at home and school, Ringstead Primary School are running a sponsored read between 7th March and 14th March 2024.

The project is being organised in conjunction with Usborne Partner Louise Knowles, and all the money raised will go towards brand new books for the school. In addition to the sponsorship money, Usborne will also donate up to 60% of the total raised in EXTRA FREE BOOKS to the school. So, for every £600 raised, the school will get an extra £360 in FREE Usborne books!

Our target is to raise £600 in sponsor money, with Usborne donating an additional £360 of books for free. This will give us a total of £960 to spend on new books and resources for our children.

Each child is encouraged to spend a small amount of time each day either reading to themselves, to others, or being read to. They can read books, comics, magazines, newspapers, menus, websites, recipes, poems, leaflets, instructions – anything with words!

If you are able to support our sponsored read, any donations would be very much appreciated. This fundraiser will close on 21st March 2024.

We look forward to having lots more books for our children to read, share and enjoy. Thank you for your support!
