About us
Who we are
The Literacy Pirates makes a transformative impact on the reading, writing, confidence and perseverance of children so that they can achieve both at school and beyond. We believe that all young people should experience success in learning. Through publishing projects, reading support and the power of volunteers, we’re on an adventure to build a fairer world.
We provide a high quality, year-long, after-school learning programme. The learning programme is designed and delivered by teachers, for children aged 9 to 13 years old; around the transitional years between primary and secondary school. We work exclusively with young people referred by their school, who are both falling behind at school and have fewer advantages in their personal circumstances.
Our impact over the past three years has been consistent. Our Learning Programme gives an average of 15 month improvement in reading age during the academic year, when without out they might expect to make just four months progress.
