Take the daily panic out of assemblies. Over 200 captivating, story-led assembly plans, ready to stream in 2 minutes. Curriculum-aligned for PSHE, SMSC, and British Values.
Children are full of life. They have a brilliant, completely unique way of looking at the world, and they want to get excited about learning. But when assemblies have to happen every single day, the pressure on staff is relentless.
It is incredibly hard to spark magic daily when you are forced to jump through rigid, prescriptive hoops, or click through another dry, bullet-pointed set of slides just to fill the time. When children just look at text on a screen, assembly becomes a process. It becomes repetitive. It becomes boring.
Stories for Schools changes the entire energy of the room.
We bring world-class, professional storytellers directly into your school hall or classroom through vivid narration and beautiful illustrations.
This isn’t data entry; it’s an experience. It’s the moment you see things falling into place in children’s brains, watching them process a narrative, make passionate connections to real life, and explode with questions and ready for a discussion.
You find the perfect story for today in under two minutes. You press play. And you watch the room come alive.
Assemblies have to happen every day. But by Wednesday, your team’s week has already been swallowed by relentless paperwork, marking, and prescriptive schemes. You have nothing ready for the morning.
So you do what every stressed educator does: you scramble for a generic, free online presentation. You click through the slides while a hall full of children sit disconnected, looking at a screen, waiting for the time to pass. The part of the job you came for,the moment a child’s face changes, the genuine excitement about learning,gets squeezed out because the daily to-do list is just too full.
Now, imagine your daily assembly routine looking like this:
Instead of a frantic morning scramble, you open Stories for Schools. Two minutes later, you have a captivating story, a complete assembly plan, and a set of open-ended discussion questions ready to go.
Instead of reading text off a slide, the children are transfixed by a professional storyteller. They are processing the narrative, making deep connections to their own lives, and actively exploring new ideas.
Our stories don’t give predictable, scripted answers; they open up the floor. They give you the creative freedom to follow the children’s thoughts and what genuinely interests them. They are still talking about it at lunch.
That spark of genuine, joyful learning? That is the moment Stories for Schools was built for.
When you are leading a school or a MAT, you are holding a different version of the same pressure. You legally need to deliver a daily act of collective worship and provide watertight evidence for inspectors. But your staff are already burnt out. You need premium, experiential resources they will actually enjoy using, and your budget needs to justify itself.
A whole-school subscription to Stories for Schools bridges that exact gap. It gives 15 staff members complete access to an entire year’s worth of daily assembly and PSHE content.
£400 for the year. Multiplied across your staff, most schools recover that cost from the first term’s clawed-back planning time alone.
A full year’s access to over 200 traditional tales, professionally narrated and illustrated, with assembly plans and classroom resources included.
Individual subscriptions from £39 a year. Whole-school access from £400.
