Stories for Schools offers you the power to infuse the children in your classroom with the benefits of storytelling as well as lessening your workload at the same time!
Our incredible CEO, Sita Brand, had a vision to blend the magic of storytelling with high-quality teaching resources to engage and inspire young minds whilst lightening the workload of educators. We are a part of the Settle Stories family. Founded in 2010, Settle Stories grew from taking storytellers into schools to engage and inspire children. After witnessing the magic that our live storytelling brought to young minds, the schools attending our events were enormously excited and wanted resources which they could use in their own classrooms. This led to the birth of Stories for Schools.
We are on a mission to bring the curriculum alive and captivate the minds of young people across the country.
Together, let’s make every lesson a story worth telling!
