Free school resources for World Book Day 2025

World Book Day takes place this Thursday (6th March) and the BBC is set to hold a 30-minute interactive live lesson broadcasting from Bradford at 11:00 AM.

The BBC has put together a portfolio of resources and a new assembly framework for Primary schools that celebrates World Book Day and the benefits of reading.

You can access the resources for Primary and Secondary schools here.

World Book Day organisers are also encouraging schools to celebrate outside this year with new free resources from its partners at the Jigsaw Education Group. An extension from the group's Jigsaw Outdoors programme, the resources combine reading, play and nature to bring books to life using sticks, shadows and other natural materials.

We at Marshall Minibus are dedicated to supporting schools and their pupils, which is why we offer bespoke solutions to make affordable transport accessible to all. 

Why choose contract hire?

There are several obstacles to purchasing a new minibus outright which can be mitigated through contract hire. First and foremost, choosing to lease with Marshall Minibus removes the headache of paying out a large cash sum upfront. Instead, we can provide a tailored payment plan to suit your budget and individual requirements.

As a Bank of Ireland (UK) PLC-owned business, we own all of our vehicles and therefore can additionally supply variable contract parameters for term and mileage as required. All regular maintenance requirements, yearly MOTs and vehicle road tax are included as standard within your lease agreement.

We are renowned industry-wide for our transparent, customer-focused approach and dedication to ensuring our clients receive the very best value for their money.

Marshall Leasing is also a proud member of the industry association the British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA), meaning that we adhere to their guidelines regarding end of contract procedures and recharges.

Key benefits:

  • Ease of management by outsourcing many of the day-to-day administration tasks.
  • Ability to budget through fixed monthly rentals.
  • Release of working capital which can be used for other projects or requirements.
  • Elimination of capital investment, maintenance and residual risk.
