Our Projects Boxes are chosen from a range of over 60,000 books. Teachers are able to choose from a range of subjects, and each box will contain 20-25 books and resources related to their chosen topics.

Project Boxes are available to order for:

• Foundation and Reception years
• Key Stage 1
• Key Stage 2.

If your school is already signed up to the schools library service, we will email your school with request forms for you to select your Project Boxes - these emails are normally sent just after half-term.

You can also find the Project Box request forms by visiting the 'Project Request Forms' section of our page on the Here for schools website, where they are available to download.

When completing the form, you'll need to supply:

• the class teacher's name, so we can clearly label the Project Box
• the year group, so that we can choose appropriate books for the class
• chosen subject area(s) - choose up to five, so that we can send a few books per subject, to make up a complete box of around 20-25 books.

Giving us as much detail as you can about your chosen subject areas will help us to select the best possible books to support your classroom projects.

You'll need to complete your request form, one form per class, and return them to us by the deadline stated on the form at:

schools.library.service@eastriding.gov.uk

Once you have sent us your completed Project Box request form, we will put together your box along with a contents form, and deliver it to your school within the first week of a new term.

Please keep the contents list safe and use it to prepare your books for return. Please make sure that all of the contents, along with any artefacts, are returned in good condition by the designated deadline. If any items are damaged or lost, please notify us at schools.library.service@eastriding.gov.uk straightaway.

Before completing the form, it is important that you check reading set availability first.

When completing the form, you'll need to:

• provide the class teacher's name, so we can clearly label the sets
• indicate which term the set will be needed for
• provide details of the school
• an email address, preferably for the teacher requesting the set
• let us know the titles you require - please make sure you have checked whether they are available before ordering.

You'll need to complete your request form and return them to us by emailing:

schools.library.service@eastriding.gov.uk

Once we have received your form, we will book out your Whole Class Reading Set and send you an email confirmation.

Whole Class Reading Sets are time sensitive as schools plan their reading around them. If a set has been booked for the next term, it must be returned by the scheduled date. If it hasn't been booked, we may be able to extend the loan – please contact schools.library.service@eastriding.gov.uk to arrange this.

We hire transport to collect Whole Class Reading Sets and plan routes to visit up to 10 schools in a day. If a set isn’t ready on the agreed collection date, you'll need to return it to us within 7 days. This gives us time to prepare it for the next school.

If any books are lost or damaged during your loan, please let us know as soon as possible. The earlier we know, the better chance we have to replace them and keep the sets complete.

Late returns or missing books can impact other schools and disrupt their planning. To be fair to everyone, please return your reading set on time and let us know if anything is missing or damaged.
