We believe that stories have the power to shape the future. That’s why we partner with schools and early years settings to bring diverse and inclusive books directly into classrooms and communities.
Whether you're a headteacher, literacy lead or early years educator, our partnership supports your literacy goals while making reading a shared experience in schools and at home.
What we offer our partners
We’ve designed our Schools & Early Years Partnership to support you all year round with practical resources, discounted books and enjoyable experiences for your learners. Every partnership is bespoke and developed to suit each individual school. Here's what we can offer:
Travelling bookshop events
We bring the bookshop to your school, hosting beautifully curated, child-friendly pop-up book events for your whole school community. Working with you, we create bookshop events that are inclusive, immersive and memorable.
Curated and discounted books
We offer discounts when schools purchase their books through us. Working with our supply chain of over 40 children's publishers, we will work closely with your school to curate inclusive reading lists and monthly new releases, helping you to stock your classroom or school library with powerful stories that reflect every child’s world.
Monthly book drops with class resources
Stay up to date with fresh new titles every month. Each delivery includes accompanying OFSTED-aligned teaching resources to help you turn each book into an inclusive learning experience which supports literacy objectives.
Author visits & signings
We love to bring national and international authors to schools, bringing books to life and offering pupils unforgettable experiences. From story time sessions to Q&As and book signings, these events spark curiosity and show children that books are created by real people and role models that they can aspire to.
Writing competitions & awards
We boost motivation and make reading fun with whole-school or setting-wide challenges. Celebrate effort and progress with prizes, certificates and recognition for your budding bookworms.
