Inspire Services for Schools

undefined

We are dedicated to inspiring learning and development through a range of cultural, learning, library and heritage services, all of which can be tailored to suit your school’s needs.

Education Library Service

The Education Library Service (ELS) provides resources which are relevant to the curriculum as well as supporting reading for pleasure. A reading rich curriculum offers the means for pupils to thrive and can be one way to close attainment gaps widened by Covid disruption. There are two options available - the standard service and the unlimited exchanges service, while our mobile library can visit your school to allow children to be involved in choosing reading materials.

Our Advisory Service can provide you with specialist support and bespoke packages tailored to the curriculum and your school’s reading needs.

Inspire Music

Inspire Music provide high quality music education in partnership with schools, enabling children and young people from all backgrounds to learn a musical instrument, to perform in ensembles, to learn to sing and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of excellence.

We provide both individual and small group instrumental and singing lessons, subsidised whole class instrumental packages, digital teaching resources, CPD training and curriculum advice and support. We also support schools in delivering Sing Up, Musical Futures, Arts Award and Arts/Music events. Through our partners, we also offer opportunities for pupils to hear and perform with professional musicians and orchestras.
