Widen the curriculum and extend more able children

Discover a refreshing, advert free magazine – one that your pupils will look forward to every month.

AQUILA’s well-researched facts and stimulating reading make it the ideal cross-curricular resource for busy teachers. Clearly written, fact based articles will widen your pupils’ view of the world, whilst expanding their general knowledge, comprehension and thinking skills. More able students will be inspired by the open-ended challenges within the magazine, and want to follow up and find out more for themselves.

New topic every month:

AQUILA gives you 12 exciting topics to s­hare with your class every year, with selected pages that you can photocopy to use in classroom activities or as an extension resource.

AQUILA is accessible to all reading levels, with something for everyone in each magazine:
Science, English and maths - Space, environment, history and philosophy
Animals, art and craft, sport - Stories, competitions and reviews

"It's excellent material for bright children in the 8-13 age range - I only wish more children could access this sort of reading matter" Sue Palmer, Author of TOXIC CHILDHOOD

"The articles, valued for their range and quality, have been used as the basis for extension and scholarship preparation tasks across the year groups....offers children the opportunity to engage in a variety of challenges and to expand their knowledge across a wide range of subjects and....improve their literacy skills and awareness." Head of English, Vinehall School, Sussex

Please let us send you some parent subscription leaflets

‘Parents are key to the success of children’. . . yet a surprising number lack confidence in their own ability to help their children develop educationally. A copy of AQUILA in the home can help parents become more involved, encouraging discussion and the sharing of ideas and opinions.

Schools and teachers play an important part in spreading the word about the magazine, which is not available from the shops, so please give your pupils the opportunity to enjoy AQUILA at home.

We will send you an Oxford Popular Dictionary free as a 'thank you' when you take out a subscription and request some subscription leaflets.

• We will also send you a sample magazine to show parents
• Pupils can choose a free book when they take a new annual subscription

Gifted and talented children - Bring out their brilliance! Originally developed for gifted and talented children, we hope that AQUILA can inspire all children to reveal their brilliance. Colourful, clear presentation and inspiring features can trigger children with untapped potential to become more involved with curriculum topics.

Challenge and stretch them. The magazine represents an invaluable resource for satisfying the able child, for whom little is published. If National Curriculum demands make it difficult for you to find extra time for gifted and talented pupils, or to engage them at the right level, AQUILA can help, offering a variety of material that is ideal for expanding young minds.

Encourage reluctant readers. Teachers have told us how reticent readers, especially boys, will respond to the magazine's enthusiastic articles and fun style. AQUILA can be a useful tool with all children who find reading difficult. Older children feel the content and tone of the magazine is not beneath them, and the bite-sized articles can encourage and hold their interest.

P.S. One of our school subscribers told us that when they had their Ofsted inspection, they were commended on their excellent facility for gifted and talented children. They have 15 copies of AQUILA per month - try it, it might work for you too!

Tell us how you use AQUILA at your school... One school allows each child in turn to borrow the magazine to take home for two nights. Other schools use AQUILA for after school clubs and activities.­
