Warwickshire Schools’ Library Service (SLS) is demonstrating just how valuable the school library sector is to communities during the coronavirus outbreak by providing reading resources for primary schools nationwide.
Warwickshire SLS has contributed reading-based activities and resource links to learning projects that are being compiled by a Birmingham-based Multi-Academy Trust (MAT) and are now being shared nationwide (since Thursday 23 April 2020).
The projects, created by Robin Hood Multi Academy Trust, cover the whole curriculum and will provide parents overseeing their children’s home learning with a range of activities for primary-school-aged children over an eight-week period.
The Trust, based in Hall Green, Birmingham, previously created projects for use by parents and other schools for the first 8 weeks after the lockdown began. These went on to be shared widely across social media and used by more than 200 schools and local authorities across the UK.
Contributions to the projects have also been made by the STEM Learning organisation, which is based in York.

Access the full learning projects from the Robin Hood MAT website.
There will also be topic cards for SLS subscribing schools which will be on a new password protected area of the Schools’ Library Service website.
