Join YPOfor Roald Dahl’s 100th birthday celebrations
As the UK’s largest publically owned buying organisation, YPO is always on the lookout for invaluable partnerships and key opportunities. Recently, the Wakefield-based organisation announced its sponsorship of the incredibly exciting 100th birthday celebrations of the world’s no.1 storyteller, Roald Dahl. To mark the centenary, YPO joined forces with The Roald Dahl Literacy Estate to
sponsor a splendiferous ‘Roald Dahl Party Pack’ which has been sent to over 23,000 schools across the country, packed full of ideas and inspiration to create the most unforgettable Roald Dahl Day celebrations. As one of the UK’s largest suppliers of educational resources, YPO offers a wide and
fun range of Roald Dahl resources, including character costumes such as Willy Wonka, The Twits and Fantastic Mr Fox, and a ‘Read and Respond’ series that brings the ever popular children’s stories to life. The company also provides all art and craft supplies, as well as gloriumptious games and activity sets, based on the legendary stories. Jo Marshall commercial director at YPO described the partnership as “priceless” and said she feels “proud” to be part of the celebrations. She also
noted that it’s “very encouraging” to see schools and children absorbing the much-loved stories and books in our ever-increasing digital age. uFind out more at

TG Escapes provide bespoke modular eco-classrooms for SEN up and down the country
Cognitive experts generally agree that effective classroom design plays a crucial role in the learning experience, particularly for students with special needs. Our eco-classrooms provide uplifting and inspirational, yet becalming, learning spaces for children with SEN and are fully accessible for those with disabilities. The low impact, low maintenance design allows for all year round use, with a minimum of running costs. As standalone buildings, the classrooms can allow the specific needs of pupils to be met, stimulating social and practical skills and intellectual
development, whilst keeping them integrated in the wider school community. Flexible interiors can accommodate various teaching methods and be adapted to suit groups of different sizes, age and ability, in a welcoming and secure environment. The Cambian group, one of the largest providers of specialist behavioural health services for children and
adults in the UK, have recently opened Learning Escapes at their Pengwern and Hillgate sites. Read more at

They like the structure of the room: low stimulus really works for our Autistic learners.” uFor more information call 0800 917 7726 or email
