Bespoke Exercise Books
AFFORDABLE BESPOKE
EXERCISE BOOKS & READING RECORDS FOR YOUR SCHOOL
WHAT IS A BESPOKE EXERCISE BOOK?
Introduction
There is no set answer to that question, as each of our orders are tailor made specific to the needs of your school! But if we had to answer we'd say they are fully customisable books and reading records which can be designed to benefit your students, staff and parents.
With vibrant covers in any colour of your choice and your full colour school logo on the front, they look fantastic and are particularly popular with students. You can choose a ruling from our range (125 size and ruling combinations as standard!) or request your own and even add your custom content, such as maps, marking criteria, times tables, school rules, learning objectives, kit lists and much much more!
Our reading records also provide you with the opportunity to take advantage of one of our great templated designs or let us help you to create your very own bespoke design which can be black and white or full colour throughout.

Fully customised reading records
With full customisation your reading record can be designed to meet your specific requirements. Whether you opt for a fully bespoke design or would like to utilise one of our templated designs, we can help you to create a fantastic reading record that offers real value. There is no formula to producing the perfect reading record as no two schools are the same, however we do have a host of great ideas that you may wish to include...
In addition to the benefits mentioned below, a professionally designed reading record portrays a fantastic school image and clearly demonstrates to visitors and prospective parents what your school is doing to encourage home-school learning and communications.
What's more, your bespoke reading records could be more affordable than you might expect - please get in
Reading record
Pages which allow parents and pupils to record the books they have been reading at home, keeping track of how many pages they have read each night and the progress made.
Book reviews
Pupils can describe the most exciting parts of the story, draw their favourite character and write alternate endings, helping them to digest what they have read and express their own thoughts.
Parent/Teacher comments
Facilitating two way communication between home and school.
Home learning resources
Helping both pupils and parents with home learning is essential, as well as including activities such as commonly misspelt words and phonetic charts. You may want to include some advice to parents as to how they can ensure their child gets the most from their home learning time.
Useful information
Important diary dates, school rules and timetables with weekly reminders (e.g. when to bring in your P.E. kit) to name just a few!

SCHOOL PROSPECTUSES
A wide range of styles and pocket shapes are available
A prospectus that shows everything that is unique and special about your school is vitally important. It contains your identity, branding and core values and even your academic achievements and extracurricular activities.
A high quality folder is an ideal communication tool. School pocket folders are perfect for organising prospectus information, course leaflets, training resource packs, reports, presentations and teaching toolkits. They allow the content to be adaptable to accommodate changes while retaining a consistent and professional branding for your school. We have a range of folder styles, A4 portrait and landscape with various pocket shapes and capacity pockets to allow for those extra inserts. You can have a prospectus brochure stitched in
