Cults Primary School - Hopes for a Better Future
Early in 2025 we invited Primary Schools to write about their hopes for the future they envisaged as adults. Cults Primary was the only school that responded and they were awarded £300 towards books for their library. We gave them a cheque for £150 for books of their choice and we oriented them with, just shy of £150 worth of books related to their vision of the future.

Cults Primary School - Hopes for a Better Future
The letters written by children to the future world express powerful and compassionate hopes for a kinder, fairer, and more sustainable planet. A central theme across all the letters is care for the environment. The children strongly wish for a pollution-free world, clean oceans, protected forests, and an end to fossil fuel use, replaced by renewable energy such as solar and wind power. They are deeply concerned about climate change and the survival of endangered animals, showing a strong sense of responsibility toward nature.
Equally important to them is social justice and human wellbeing. Many children dream of a world without war, bullying, homelessness, hunger, or discrimination. They emphasize equal rights for everyone, regardless of background, ability, or appearance, and advocate for inclusion, accessibility, and second chances for those who have made mistakes. Kindness, empathy, and friendship are repeatedly highlighted as foundations of a better society.
Technology is viewed with optimism, but balance is key. Children imagine inventions that reduce waste, improve accessibility, and support people’s lives without harming the planet. Some also express personal determination to learn, help others, and never give up.
Overall, the letters reflect a hopeful, thoughtful generation that believes the future can be shaped through compassion, fairness, sustainability, and collective action.
