Year: 2014
Passion
Education provides the foundation for opportunity. When children struggle with literacy, it can affect their confidence, classroom participation and long-term development.
Action
In 2014, the Foundation funded specialist reading software for West Jesmond Primary School, enabling teachers to provide targeted support for pupils who needed extra help developing their reading skills.
Impact
The programme allowed students to improve their literacy in a supportive environment, leading to stronger reading abilities and greater confidence in the classroom.
