Literacy Pirates is a children’s educational charity running after-school programmes to develop the literacy, confidence and perseverance of children aged 9-13. We focus on those children who are falling behind in school and have fewer opportunities in their personal lives, so that they can succeed at school and beyond.  

Children join us in Hackney, or our Virtual, Ship once a week to practice their reading and writing. By welcoming them into our joyful spaces, publishing their work in the real world, and celebrating everything they do, we develop their literacy, confidence and perseverance.
