The Booktrust Stories Tour, which took a live literature show into prisons for prisoners to enjoy with their children, has been named a model of good practice by the regulator.
Ofsted also called the Stories Tour prisons programme, which was run by Booktrust alongside Arts Council England and Pact, a charity supporting prisoners and their families, an ‘innovative and beneficial family learning programme’.
Stories Tour family days have been held in eight prisons across England, with prisoners attending a morning workshop to help them prepare for afternoon sessions with their young children, grandchildren or siblings.
The afternoon activity involved Stories Tour actors presenting a story in a play format, inviting participation from the children and their parents in related games.
