#FridayStoryClub: A free weekly story for primary schools, from Settle Stories

Every Friday at 1pm, a brand new story begins right here.

A professional storyteller. Hand-drawn illustrations. A tale made just for your class, and completely free.

 

The first story launches on Friday 16th April 2026 at 1pm. Don’t miss it.

What is the #FridayStoryClub?

Every Friday from 1 to 3pm, Settle Stories shares something special: a brand new story, told by a gifted professional storyteller and brought to life through original hand-drawn illustrations.

It’s made specially for schools. It’s free. And when those two hours are up, it’s gone, until next week’s story takes its place.

No subscriptions. No logins. No catch. Just a wonderful story waiting for you and your class, every single Friday afternoon.

Why do teachers love it?

• It is only available for two hours. That’s the magic of it. Friday at 1pm feels like an event, something your class can look forward to all week.
• Every story is different. A new tale, a new teller, a new world to step into together. There’s always something to discover.
• It’s made for the classroom. Each story is curriculum-linked and created across the full primary range, from Reception right through to Year 6. It’s not just a treat, it’s good teaching, too.
• It’s told by real storytellers. People who know how to hold a room, hold a child’s attention, and make a story feel alive.
• It’s completely free. Always has been. Always will be.
