Cal school visit information
Flexible delivery

Whole class, SEND, nurture or pastoral support.

The same core materials can be adapted for different contexts. Schools should use professional judgement and individual pupil plans where applicable.

The membership proposition

Your school is buying a system, not simply another book.

The value sits in the relationship between the physical books, the private digital library, staff access, teaching support, secure licensing, onboarding and ongoing usage evidence.

Discover

Search one organised library by topic, age/stage and intended classroom use.

Use

Open portal-only materials or create licensed, school-identified PDFs where printing is genuinely needed.

Manage

Add approved staff, keep resources under one school licence and remove access when roles change.

Evidence

See resource activity and areas used so SENCOs and SLT can understand whether the membership is delivering value.

Why membership continues to matter

The value does not disappear once one PDF has been downloaded.

Active membership keeps the school connected to the private library, eligible new releases, staff accounts, portal-view premium resources, secure downloads, usage reporting and ongoing support. Physical books remain permanent purchases and can be added separately.

Annual digital membership

Membership scales with the size of your school.

The correct school licence is determined by current pupil roll. This keeps licensing clearer and avoids larger settings using a tier designed for a small school.

Feedback & expectations
Why invest in inclusive resources?

Inclusion is a mainstream teaching issue, not a niche add-on.

DfE data for 2025/26 reports 19.4% of primary pupils in England had SEN support or an EHC plan. The 2026/27 Inclusive Mainstream Fund also provides £400 million to schools to strengthen inclusive practice. That funding is not earmarked for Hewston Higgins products.

Access

Give children multiple ways into an idea through story, visuals, discussion and practical activity.

Participation

Create materials pupils can revisit in whole-class, nurture, pastoral or targeted contexts.

Consistency

Give staff shared characters, language and follow-up resources around a topic.

Value

Use books as lasting physical resources and digital materials for repeat teaching.

Low-risk first step

Try the school sample pack before ordering.

Request a sample lesson, activity, teacher-guide extract and example resource. Then choose membership, books, a class programme or a visit only if the approach fits your setting.
