Would you like to know what your pupils think about reading, writing, speaking and listening? Now in its 15th 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.
The survey provides essential data on children’s literacy, which allows us to track annual trends and provides a consistent national measure of children’s literacy. This data provides an essential evidence base and informs all of the National Literacy Trust’s campaigning and programmatic work. Find out more.

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 28th February 2025 and the survey will close on 7th 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).
