UKLA/OU READING FOR PLEASURE QUALITY MARK
The UKLA/OU Quality Mark recognises and rewards schools which have developed, embedded and enriched their RfP culture and ethos with recognisable impact on staff knowledge and practice, on parents and on young people’s recreational reading.
Applying for and gaining the UKLA/OU Quality Mark is a highly supportive year long process. Each school will mentored by an expert in reading for pleasure research and practice who will help schools audit their provision, decide whether to apply for a silver, gold or platinum award and prepare their impact statement and final submission.
In 2023-2024, following the RfP CPD and QM Introductory Session in April, just 25 schools will be selected to work toward the Quality Mark. The launch for these schools is on 14th June 1-3pm.
Achieving the UKLA/OU Quality Mark will position your school as a centre of excellence for nurturing young readers who choose to read widely and frequently within and beyond school.
