LRH membership helps you bring the world, past and present, into your classrooms.  

LRH membership gives schools access to an extensive range of high‑quality, curriculum‑aligned teaching and learning resources, enabling teachers to deliver rich, engaging, and knowledge‑based learning without the burden of searching and purchasing expensive materials. Resources and collections available include:

Book collections and reading resources - LRH collections help schools build strong reading cultures, boost attainment and support diverse learner needs.

  • Curriculum‑linked fiction and non‑fiction book collections

  • Guided reading sets, classroom sets and themed reading bundles (e.g., empathy, wellbeing)

  • Dyslexia‑friendly, EAL‑friendly and reluctant‑reader collections

  • Reading for pleasure collections

Visual and multi‑media resources and collections - LRH provides a vast range of specialist equipment that enables hands‑on, investigative learning, for example:

  • Computing and robotics (Dash Robot, Rugged Robot, LEGO We Do and Mindstorm EV3)

  • Scientific enquiry equipment (data loggers, pocket microscopes, underwater pond cameras, circulatory system)

  • Early Years imaginative play collections (for example construction site, puppets, pirate shack, knights and dragons)

  • Health and wellbeing resources (human torso, ear model, recycling kit)

  • Diversity, culture and RE collections (Judaism, Islam, African masks, Chinese New Year)

  • Historical artefacts (Victorian, Roman, Tudor, evacuee suitcase, medieval resources, Stephenson’s Rocket)

WOW! Immersive Environments - These themed collections transform learning spaces and help immerse children in their learning. Collections include Space, Under the Sea, Winter Wonderland, Rainforests, Dinosaurs, Myths & Legends, Fairy/Traditional Tales and Woodland. We also have WOW! Collections to support computing and control in the STAR WARS Droids collection and the Coding with Dash collection.

 

LRH membership offers outstanding value for money

A core reason schools choose LRH is its exceptional financial impact.  

Schools save both money (compared to purchasing resources independently) and time (searching, assessing, curating), with resources and collections continually updated and refreshed (every term if necessary) to remain curriculum‑relevant, with new collections added termly.

 

Membership options for all budgets

LRH offers a range of flexible membership levels - Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Individual Teacher/Class - starting from just £415 per annum.

All levels include free delivery and collection each term (Spring, Summer and Autumn term).  Different levels of membership ensures LRH is accessible to schools of all sizes and contexts.

 

High satisfaction and proven impact

Their resources are invaluable in bringing our curriculum tangibly to life…

It really helps us have all the things we need for good teaching without spending a fortune.
