Please note: These books have not all been checked by us as a school and these are merely lists of books which may support your child. Not every child is emotionally or academically ready for books which may be in their appropriate age bracket so please make sure that you are happy with the content and level of challenge before giving any of these to your child.

Sooper Books - Free School library
Sooper Books has kindly donated all of their award-winning stories and audiobooks to our school. Please use the following links to access the stories and audiobooks free of charge from school or from home:
Bedtime stories — a selection of the world’s best 5-10 minute bedtime stories and audiobooks
Fairy tales — a selection of classic fairy tales retold in a modern and fun way
Sooper Series — a selection of original stories in episode format. Each episode is a separate 10-15 minute story
Rhymes & Poems — a selection of 3-5 minute funny rhymes
Aesop’s fables — a selection of 3-5 minute moral tales, retold in a fun and modern way”
How can it be free? (There must be a catch). There’s no catch.: we are a Venture Capital funded startup backed by 30 of the UK’s top tech investors. We do have a range of paid services that we offer to corporates, schools and families, but those are optional and not connected to this donation.
What is Sooper Books? Sooper Books is a new digital story and audiobook platform helping kids to love reading again. Accessible anywhere, anytime on any device. And backed by a team of double Emmy® winning and Disney® creators.
