Inside Sparks


The development of independent learners starts with inside sparks – igniting classroom curiosity, supporting literacy skills, creating a reading culture and fuelling digital fluency.

Run by experienced qualified librarians, our mission is to be a catalyst for learning by providing teachers and schools with the ideas, research and resources they need to deliver positive outcomes for pupils.

We do this by offering:

WHO WE ARE

SLS UK is a collective of Schools Library Services covering the length and breadth of the UK. Through our subscriptions, consultancy and library services we work with schools to help them develop hubs for learning, exploration and self development.

We believe a library is the beating heart of a school and the librarian its lifeblood.
