Literacy Pirates.
The Literacy Pirates is an educational charity working to develop the literacy, confidence and perseverance of young people in Hackney, Haringey and online, so that they achieve both in school and in the world beyond.
ABOUT US: 

 We know that young people sometimes need some extra help to achieve their full potential, and we believe that providing support outside of school can really help young people to do better in the classroom, while also developing their broader skills. We also believe that learning should be a great adventure! So working together with local schools, families and volunteers, we deliver unique real-world learning projects (such as published books, films, and apps) in our own unconventional learning environment.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

The educational attainment gap in the UK has steadily decreased and stabilised over 15 years. The gap continues to widen as disadvantaged children move from primary to secondary schools. Experts say that progress has been made but the gap will take 560 years to close. It will take a myriad of solutions to close the gap more quickly. 

OUR VALUES: 
Kindness
Growth mindset
Listening Skills
Positivity
WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN OUR PEOPLE: 

Good communication skills, positivityand enthusiasm!
