Annual Literacy Survey

Since 2010, NLT have conducted an annual literacy survey of more than 40,000 children and young people, aged 8 to 18, from across the UK.

Registration for the 2023 survey is now open!

Schools that participate get their own individual school report that outlines your basic findings, which you can compare nationally once the national reports are published. Uses of the report:

· Inform your literacy and numeracy strategy · Supporting evidence for OFSTED

· Review current provision Runs from 3 January - 10 March 2023.

This year will include a teacher and school staff survey. We welcome responses from all school staff, not just those in teaching roles.
