Would you like to know what your pupils think about reading, writing, speaking and listening? Now in its fifteenth year, the National Literacy Trust’s Annual Literacy Survey of children and young people aged 5 to 18 explores children and young people’s literacy behaviours, attitudes and enjoyment.
By taking part in our 2025 Annual Literacy Survey, you will be contributing to up-to-date, essential data on children’s literacy. This will help us to continue to track annual trends and provide a consistent national measure of children’s literacy. Not only will you receive your own school, this data will provide an essential evidence base and informs all of the National Literacy Trust’s campaigning and programmatic work.

This year, there are multiple surveys to choose from:
- 5 to 8-year-old survey
- 8 to 16-year-old
- 16 to 18-year-old survey
- Staff survey
The survey is open to schools across England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. If you would like to take part, please register below. All surveys take place online, are completely free to take part in, and none should take longer than 45 minutes.
Participating schools will receive a personalised school report outlining their findings, which they can compare nationally once the national reports are published. You could use your report to:
- Inform your literacy and numeracy strategy
- Give as supporting evidence to OFSTED
- Review your current provision
Registration will close on 28 February 2025 and the survey will close on 7 March 2025.
(Note: It is up to you to decide who and how many pupils you would like to survey, but the more pupils you survey, the more representative your school's individual report will be).
