The home reading scheme turns literacy into a sport by getting classes to compete with each other to see how much they can read. Schools have a trophy to give out every Friday to their best reading class that week.

Every month there is a competition between all the participating schools in the county, and the winning class receives a special treat, such as a visit from a storyteller or vouchers for local attractions. Puffin class were the February winners.

Buster’s Book Club is supported by Sussex Newspapers, Sea Life Brighton, Summerfields Leisure, Orbit, Eurostar, Kreston Reeves, 3D Recruit Education, Little Cheyne Court, and the Marit and Hans Rausing Fund in partnership with Sussex Community Foundation.
