Booked Up is a national programme run by Booktrust and supported by the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Booktrust is an independent charity with the goal of encouraging and supporting reading for pleasure. The Booktrust provide each Year 7 pupil in registered schools in England with a free ‘Booked Up’ book from a list of 12 specially selected titles. The Librarians registered TRS and organized the selection and ordering of the books. At last the Booked Up books have arrived and have been organised into their boxes and delivered to the Forms. We hope the Year 7s enjoy their selection. If you like the look of any of the Booked Up books, copies of all the titles are held in the Discovery Library for borrowing.
