Creative Learning Services

Creative Learning Services Designed to foster a love of independent learning for pupils, Creative Learning Services supports schools with resources, workshops and professional advice.

Combining Library Services for Education, Museum’s Learning and Artworks, we have developed an exciting, flexible modular service that reaches into many different curriculum areas. Comprising books, multimedia, artefacts, art and hands-on inspiring workshops (including poetry, history, creative writing and art) we hope to provide something for primary, secondary and special schools in the Midlands.

Our final review from the wonderful Arpan is Murder Most Unladylike by Robin Stevens, otherwise known as his "the book that made me a reader"

This series is hugely popular across our schools and one we love dearly at CLS too. Perfect for cosy crime fans aged Year 6 to adult.

A huge thank you to Arpan and all our other reviews for your fabulous reviews throughout the year, we are really going to miss them!

Are your year 9s ready to with the annual CLS Book Challenge?

9 for 9 features new and exciting fiction that your year 9s can really get stuck into.

You can choose the 9 for 9 Book Challenge as part of your CLS subscription. Or, if your school isn't already a subscriber, you can buy into the Book Challenge as a one off pay-as-you-go offer. We are based in Leicestershire but the book challenge has no geographical restrictions so do get in touch from anywhere in the UK to discuss it with us.

Your school will get 4 copies of each book to keep, access to engaging resources linked to the Go All In campaign, support from the CLS librarians throughout the year, at least one virtual author visit, and the chance for students to win exciting prizes through a creative writing competition.

If you're not already doing anything for the our 9 for 9 challenge is the perfect place to start.

Get in touch via the link in our bio, or comment 'We're ready!' below and we'll DM you with all the details.

Great news!

Children and young people’s levels of reading for pleasure have risen for the first time in five years, having reached a 20-year low in 2025. Still, reading engagement remains critically low.
