As part of the wider Children and Young Persons team, you will also be responsible for planning and delivering an engaging and exciting summer school for the summer of 2020
This project is funded by The Prince of Wales’ Charitable Trust and builds on our existing BBC Children in Need funded Reading Heroes project. Super Reading Heroes is a new way for us to continue to deliver a long standing commitment to reading with Looked After Children in the North West of England. We aim to raise standards in literacy through promoting reading for pleasure.
