Beano
An 80-year-old British icon, refreshed for a new generation. Savvy teachers have long known that a classroom box of Beano comics is a brilliant way to help many children with their reading. Visual storytelling can be a much easier way to read a whole story independently. Beano can be particularly engaging for boys, reluctant readers, and children with specific needs such as autism or dyslexia, but all children love sharing jokes and a funny story.
Beano is offering National Literacy Trust school members a fantastic and exclusive subscription discount:- 15 Beano comics for only £30, with weekly delivery direct to your school.

Teach Primary
Teach Primary spans the big issues shaping education, daily classroom life, and the career concerns of every school professional. Their readers are experienced heads, senior leaders, academics and consultants.
Responding to curriculum, assessment and inspection changes is part and parcel of teaching life – like it or not – and their columnists provide expert opinion, perspective, and a touch of much needed humour on the key issues of the day. Information comes direct from schools too, as they regularly visit the top-performing settings in the country.
The magazine is published 10 times per year and we can offer you your first copy for free and then three issues for just £6 (a saving of 50% on the cover price)
Teach Secondary
The world of education is fast-moving and high-pressured; everyone has an opinion, and no one can deny that what happens in schools is incredibly important, for students, communities and indeed, our nation’s future. Expectations of teachers have arguably never been higher; yet at the same time, the status of the profession is somehow strangely undervalued.
Teach Secondary acknowledges this – and responds with an editorial policy that is based on respect and celebration. Sharp, relevant contributions from some of the most innovative and credible educational thinkers and practitioners around are presented with style and in a way that encourages challenge and debate. Real voices from actual classrooms ensure that effective teaching and learning is always the main mission, with sharing best practice a top priority.
The magazine is published 10 times per year and we can offer you your first copy for free and then three issues for just £6 (a saving of 50% on the cover price).
