About First News Education
First News Education provides schools with cohesive, flexible, time-saving tools to nurture the academic and personal development of pupils through advancing their core literacy levels and setting them up with a solid foundation of the skillsets they need to excel throughout school and beyond.
Through the exploration of UK and international news, pupils are encouraged to grow their skills through accurately understanding and evaluating news stories while building the invaluable ability to respond to information precisely, preparing them for the academic challenges they will encounter in the move to secondary school and during the lead up to GCSEs.
Learning Tools
The weekly First News newspaper is at the heart of First News Education. Created to work alongside it, the iHub and Activity Sheets are effective learning tools designed to maximise the impact of utilising news in the classroom.
