Are you a new Reading, Arts or Culture Lead this September?
Or already in role and looking for fresh ideas and local connections?
We know that reading for pleasure and engagement in the arts are both in long-term decline, yet both are vital for wellbeing, creativity and learning across the curriculum.
With 2026 set to be a national Year of Reading, this is the perfect time to build momentum in your school.
We’re inviting reading, literacy and arts leads or anyone interested in cultural learning from LLP member schools to join our new network.
We’ll share:
- Updates on local and national projects in reading, arts and culture
- Opportunities for member-exclusive LLP projects
- Opportunities to connect with others doing this work across the city
Join our first meeting on Thursday 9th October at 3.45. Sign up below!
