Does your school have premium membership?

If you are undertaking school-based training, find out if your school has a whole-school membership by asking your literacy coordinator or emailing us at membership@literacytrust.org.uk. If so, you could be eligible to be added to the premium membership as part of your school's account.

Premium membership is designed for literacy and school leaders with access to premium literacy strategic planning and classroom teaching resources, discounts on some professional development events and training, logins for up to 20 staff colleagues, plus discounts with partner organisations. Let your school literacy lead know about how premium membership could benefit the whole-school.
