Products

We offer you readymade solutions for the challenges of an ever-evolving curriculum. Acquistions are informed by our librarian and Kirklees' team of curriculum specialists. We also source bespoke materials and offer tailor made resources and boxes.

Choose from our extensive range of Curriculum Support Boxes, Early Years Chatterboxes, Premium Art Boxes and individually loaned objects and artefacts.

Curriculum Support Boxes

Our Curriculum Support Boxes are topic based reflecting current units within National Curriculum subjects. They contain a broad and inclusive range of books and learning resources along with objects relevant to the topic. We update our boxes to meet the changing requirements of the curriculum and can also offer contents customised to specific requests.

Premium Art Boxes

Premium Art Boxes are inspiration placed into a neat package. They comprise themed collections guaranteed to enthuse and spark imagination. They include pieces of contemporary artwork often with rich supporting materials (for example the artist's sketchbook and biographical material) as well as diverse pieces representing many cultures and countries.

Early Years Chatterboxes

We have a range of boxs specifically tailored to the needs of early stage learners. These Chatterboxes are designed to stimulate and develop the speaking and listening skills of children with developing language skills. They include walkie-talkies, photographs, musical instruments, toys and a talk-around mat, together with a range of theme associated books.

Objects and artefacts

Our huge collection ranges from African drums to zebra skin. Loans from short periods up to a maximum of one term. We have a dizzying range of objects which are often large and high value. They cover almost every conceivable topic and offer a fascinating and compelling way to augment your delivery of the curriculum or just spark discussion. Contact us for details or to add something to your wishlist - we are continuously making new acquisitions.

Training and networks

Training for school staff is scheduled on a regular basis and includes sessions on a range of topics. In addition to courses and INSET training, tailored professional guidance and support is available to individual schools on a consultancy basis.

Termly network meetings are offered to all Primary, Middle, Secondary and Special schools, providing an opportunity for librarians and LRC managers to share good practice with colleagues and receive updates on local and national initiatives.
