In the spirit of the upcoming festive season, we are excited to share a heartening initiative that aims to ignite the love for reading among students. Collaborating with the renowned publisher, Scholastic Books, we have recognised a poignant statistic: a significant 65% of students in state schools might not have a book to call their own.
This year, we are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of these young learners. Avonmore School, nestled near Holland Park, and Ashburnham Community Primary School in Chelsea will be the focal points of our efforts. Jason Kow, CEO of Queensgate Investments personally attended Ashburnham Community Primary School in Chelsea on Friday 1 December.
We believe that reading is not just an academic pursuit but a gateway to worlds unknown, fostering creativity, empathy, and a lifelong love for learning. Our collaboration with Scholastic Books underscores our commitment to providing quality literature that resonates with young minds.
The selection of a personal book is a joyous occasion, creating a sense of ownership and pride in these young readers. For some, this may be one of the few gifts they receive this holiday season, making the moment even more special. We envision this initiative as more than a one-time event; it’s a stepping stone toward cultivating a community of readers, thinkers, and dreamers.
As we embark on this journey, we invite you to join us in making a positive impact on these students’ lives. Let us come together to spread the joy of reading, enriching the minds of these young scholars and brightening their holiday season with the gift of imagination. Together, we can create a ripple effect that transcends the pages of the books we provide, leaving a lasting impact on the hearts and minds of these future leaders.
