April 21, 2021
The school has been selected as one of only a hundred schools in the UK to be a “Lit in Colour Pioneer” School by Pearson.
Pearson believe it is essential that students across the UK are given access to books by Black, Asian and minority ethnic writers and those from a range of backgrounds, to ensure a better reflection of contemporary culture and society, and to provide students with both experiences beyond their own and experiences that may resonate with them. Therefore, they are implementing more diverse texts onto the GCSE English specification, we share and support this view.
As a designated school, we will receive:
• A Lit in Colour mini library including 300 free Penguin books by Black, Asian and minority ethnic writers designed for all age groups, together with colourful posters and artwork.
• Copies of the chosen GCSE set texts for every student in the relevant year group, donated by Penguin.
• A programme of work and series of free resources including CPD training webinars for teachers and school librarians, plus qualification support and training where required.
• Support programmes of work for each set text including creative content from authors plus videos and a range of resources to support the specification.
• A student ambassador programme.
The school delighted to be part of this exciting scheme.
