UKLA/OU Reading for Pleasure Quality Mark 2026
About
This exciting UKLA/OU Quality Mark, now in its fourth year, recognises and rewards primary and secondary schools that have developed, embedded and enriched their Reading for Pleasure (RfP) culture and ethos with demonstrable impact on staff knowledge and practice, on parents and, most significantly, on young people’s recreational reading.To support schools interested in applying, this briefing session is designed to help you learn more about the Quality Mark and how to put together a strong application, guided by the Quality Mark team. The session costs £40, which will be deducted from the total programme fee for schools that are successfully shortlisted. Schools not selected this year will be welcome to reapply the following year, with no additional cost for attending the briefing session again.
Achieving the UKLA/OU Quality Mark will position schools as centres of excellence for nurturing young readers who choose to read widely and frequently, within and beyond school. The Quality Mark is open to all secondary, primary, junior and infant schools in the UK.
Applying for and gaining the UKLA/OU Quality Mark is a supportive year-long process, enabling reflection, evaluation and the gathering of evidence of impact. English leaders will be mentored by an expert in reading for pleasure research and practice, who, through use of the RfP Audit Framework, will help schools examine their reading for pleasure provision.
In 2026–2027, 25 schools will be enabled to work towards the RfP QM.
