For Schools

Reflect the diversity of our families, our communities and our population

Only 5% of children’s books published in 2019 had a black, Asian or minority ethnic main character, despite 33.5% of our schoolchildren being of black Asian or minority ethnic origins.

Only a fraction of these books make it into primary school libraries. To buy, check out the box options below or email [email protected] to pay by invoice. All we need is a purchase order number and the list of products you wish to buy. 

We know teachers are time pressed and that it’s hard to find the books you know your pupils need. No wonder, if so few are published.

We are here to help you diversify your bookshelves and help all children to see the diversity of our population in the books they read.

In their latest inspection framework Ofsted have a renewed emphasis on diversity and inclusion and will be inspecting schools according to new criteria. Please read our blog on how we can help you with the reading bit of an Ofsted inspection.

We sell books for 0-11 year olds, covering Primary school age, primary and middle school if you’re in a three tier system and infant school and the early years of juniors.

If you’re not in education here’s how children’s ages fit with the stages of the education system in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, and Scotland.
