Awesome Books and Inspiring a Love of Reading
Jul 18 2025
At The Keys Academy Trust, we believe that reading opens doors to opportunity, imagination, and lifelong learning. That’s why we are thrilled to announce the beginning of an exciting partnership with Awesome Books, a local company dedicated to making books accessible for all.
As part of this collaboration, Awesome Books has generously donated 3,710 books to our schools, helping us transform reading spaces and create new opportunities for our pupils. These books have already made a huge impact:
- Home libraries for our disadvantaged pupils, ensuring every child has books to enjoy at home.
- An outdoor community reading project at St Nicholas CE Primary School, bringing stories into shared spaces for families.
- A brand-new KS2 library at Alder Grove C of E Primary School, giving older primary pupils access to a rich and diverse range of texts.
- A new library at St Sebastian’s C of E Primary School and Nursery, creating a vibrant hub for reading and learning.
Awesome Books shared their vision for this partnership: “At Awesome Books, we believe that access to books changes lives. Every book donated is a step towards closing the literacy gap and inspiring a lifelong love of reading. We are proud to support The Keys Academy Trust as part of our mission to make reading accessible to all.”
This is just the beginning. Together, we aim to continue building spaces where reading thrives, supporting literacy initiatives, and ensuring every child has the chance to discover the joy of books.
Thank you, Awesome Books, for joining us on this journey. We look forward to growing this partnership and creating even more opportunities for our pupils and communities.
