Wirral Schools' Library Service Email [email protected]. uk for further information. We provide a range of up to date resources which support the national curriculum and reading for pleasure.

Wirral SLS provides educational resources and advice to primary schools ( including academies), special schools, & a Y7 transition offer, across Wirral and other areas. Wirral Schools’ Library Service is currently available to all maintained nurseries, primary schools and special schools and staff hope to re-establish a service offer to secondary schools in the near future. We also offer advice and practical solutions to help schools provide excellent school libraries. Our team of librarians, Louise Rice, Catherine McNally and Annabel Leinster, have the experience and curriculum knowledge to compile collections of resources tailored to individual school needs and are always willing to offer advice on any aspect of the school library. Our Library manager Wendy Bryan also has the IT knowledge to offer technological solutions.

New research from the National Literacy Trust shows that 38.9% of pupils receiving free school meals enjoy reading poetry in their free time, compared with 27.9% of other pupils.

They’re also more likely to write it, with 21.5% writing poetry in their spare time
compared with 18.7% of their peers.

It’s an encouraging reminder that poetry can connect with young people in ways that other forms of reading and writing sometimes don’t.

And this National Poetry Day is a perfect opportunity to build on that.

Join Michael Rosen, Hot Poets Liv Torc and Chris Redmond and Young Poet
Laureates Jacob and Maya for our live assembly at 10am on Thursday 1 October.
