First News engages our pupils
“We have found First News Education to be an excellent addition to the suite of resources that we provide for our pupils here at St Christopher’s School. We have been delighted with the way that it has been received by students who really can’t wait to see what the headlines will be each week. I can say, very enthusiastically, that staff and students at school have absolutely loved having the access to First News and the iHub – it is a fabulous investment and well worth the money.”
Mark Jones, Assistant Headteacher, St Christopher's School, Bahrain
I love First News International
“My pupils love First News, they’re talking a lot more about current affairs and what’s going on around the world – they are constantly asking questions. First News covers all issues and doesn’t shield children, instead they are just careful about how the information is delivered, great addition to the classroom.”
