Registration Form

For the 2023-24 school year we are asking schools to contribute £300 towards the full cost of providing Book Clubs in Schools (independent sector schools £800). BCiS fundraises for the remaining cost of the programme from Trusts and Foundations. The books for the club are purchased separately by each school, but we can secure discounted rates. For schools with high pupil premium numbers we can apply for funding for your books.

 

To start the sign up process, fill in the form below and you will receive more information about how the programme works, our current book list and details of how to pay.
