Please note that we will automatically hold all schools orders from 30 March 2026 to 17 April 2026 due to the Easter break. We know that Easter holiday start dates vary this year so that the holiday period extends over three weeks. If your school remains open for delivery for all or part of this time and you'd like your books delivered, please let us know at online checkout, or by calling us on 0121 666 6646 or emailing hello@peters.co.uk.
Non-fiction for primary schools

Whether supporting a curriculum topic, or designed as a leisure read, non-fiction texts are always a great way to engage and motivate children who may not yet have found their love of reading – useful both for allowing pupils to explore their existing interests, and encouraging them to develop new ones.
Non-fiction also:
- Exposes pupils to new words, helping them develop a broad and rich vocabulary
- Develops the critical thinking skills essential to recognising ‘fake news’
- Helps children to navigate the diverse world we live in and the issues they may encounter as they prepare for the transition to secondary school.
If you have a specific theme or topic you'd like recommendations for, get in touch by emailing us at hello@peters.co.uk or call 0121 666 6646.
