What is Support your school?

Support your school is a fundraising platform for schools managed by Peters, the UK’s leading specialist children's book and furniture supplier to schools.

We enable schools and their communities to raise funds to support children’s literacy.

Our mission

Support your school was set up in 2019 in response to schools' rising challenges to their budgets, leaving less towards literacy, reading enjoyment, and dedicated reading spaces. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for schools to fund efforts towards boosting reading for pleasure and improving literacy.

In 2025, 1 in 7 primary schools still do not have a library or library space. The National Year of Reading 2026 is a positive step towards building a national reading culture and taking the benefits of literacy seriously. We will continue to support our registered schools with fundraising towards much-needed resources for reading spaces and libraries.

About Peters

For 90 years, Peters has worked closely with librarians, educators and reading professionals to promote literacy and get the best books into the hands of generations of readers. They collaborate with established partners including National Literacy Trust and The Reading Agency.

As members of Support your school, registered schools can get access to Peters' children's book specialists and their expertise, and receive recommendations for books to purchase using their raised funds.
