Notice Information

Notice Title

Book clubs and library membership

Notice Description

The Department for Education (DfE) wants to fund an organisation or consortium to provide support to state-funded schools with key stage 2 pupils on setting up book clubs for key stage 2 pupils and enrolling their year 3 pupils with a public library. The main aims will be to develop pupils' spoken language, by enabling children to discuss the books they have read in a non-classroom but structured setting, and to develop their love of literature through widespread reading for pleasure. The bid should set out how you intend to set up and deliver a national programme of support to state-funded schools with key stage 2 pupils. This will include two different levels of support: a. direct advice and support to targeted schools in greatest need (i.e. with low KS2 reading results) on establishing book clubs and enrolling their year 3 pupils in a public library. We expect between 100 and 200 schools to establish book clubs and enrol pupils in a public library as a result of this direct advice and support by 31 March 2016; and b. resources available to all schools on establishing book clubs and enrolling pupils in public libraries. We envisage at least 1,000 schools accessing these resources by 31 March 2016. Additional information: Organisations interested in this contract should register with Redimo, the department's e-procurement system, where it will be advertised from the 12 March. Further information on Redimo is available on the above link.
