Aspire is delighted to have partnered with Penguin Random House Children’s for a sponsored read following the release of Jacqueline Wilson's new book Katy. 

We are encouraging schools to raise funds for Aspire by asking their students to commit to reading a list of books. Taking part in a sponsored read is a brilliant way to get into reading and help others at the same time.

All students need to do is:

• choose what they’re going to read (it can be anything they want!)
• find sponsors (family and friends – never strangers)
• remind sponsors to tick the Gift Aid box if they can
• collect their sponsor money and bring it to school, along with this completed sheet

Please send your Sponsored Read form with a cheque for the amount raised, payable to 'Aspire', to the address below.  Please don't send cash through the post.

A retelling of the nineteenth century classic What Katy Did, Katy tells the story of Katy Carr, a lively, daredevil oldest sister in a big family.  She loves messing around outdoors, climbing on the garage roof, or up a tree, cycling, skateboarding, swinging . . . But her life changes in dramatic and unexpected ways after a serious accident.
