Local Aerospace Company Supports Reading in Lincoln Schools

In this episode, we explore how Ceratizit UK & Ireland, a local aerospace company, is helping to promote reading among young children in Lincoln. The company has donated a modified vending machine to Mount Street Academy, which is part of the school's Reading Rewards program. Children earn rewards for reading books, and when they reach 200 books, they can choose a book from the vending machine to keep. The machine, originally used for cutting tools, was modified to handle larger books and now holds between 250 and 300 books. The initiative is part of a larger effort by the Anthem Schools Trust to improve reading outcomes for children across the East Midlands, London, and Thames Valley. Join us as we discuss the impact of this innovative program and the role of local businesses in education.
