Kent Literacy Awards are now open for nominations

An awards scheme which celebrates literacy initiatives across Kent, Medway and Bexley schools is now officially open for nominations.

The Kent Literacy Awards are designed to showcase the most creative and inventive methods used to inspire students to improve their reading, writing and speaking skills.

Used to illustrate the initiatives that make a real difference to the success of schools, the awards have a number of the categories open for nomination, including:

• Most successful program for engaging pupils with English as a second language
• Best promotion of reading for pleasure
• Best speaking competition or debating club.

The awards accept nominations from parents, pupils, support staff and management at Primary and Secondary schools.

Simon Dolby, chief executive at the KM Charity Team which organise the awards, said: “We believe it is vital to commend hardworking school staff for gifting pupils with skills that will render their lives. The ability to read, write, speak and listen confidently opens so many more doors for adulthood.”

The winners will be invited to an awards celebration evening at Hempstead House Hotel, Sittingbourne at the end of June.

A summary of all the winning submissions will be published and circulated to every school in the region to help spread best practice across the county.

Visit the Kent Literacy Awards website submit one or more nominations before the 1 May deadline.
