Wiltshire & Swindon Learning Resources
WSLR is now on facebook. We at WSLR are keen our schools up to date with what is happening at WSLR. One way of doing this will be through our new website, being launched very soon and of course we already have our newsletter. Another way for you to keep bang up-to-date is through becoming a friend of ours on facebook. WSLR will regularly update our facebook pages with all the latest news including our brand new resource collections, upcoming events (eg author events) and all our training courses. We hope to develop this even further by having teachers share ideas about how they’ve used the WSLR resources and their recommendations. We will also take the opportunity to learn from you, and look forward to getting your feedback.

Introduction to WSLR
Wiltshire and Swindon Learning Resources (WSLR) is a subscription-based service, wholly financed by participating schools, which lends a wide range of educational resources to schools in both the maintained and independent sectors and provides advice on the selection, organisation and use of resources within the school.
WSLR's three key service lines are Books, Visual Resources and Audio-Visual Resources, together comprising an integrated range of multi-media resources. Teachers and pupils have differing styles of teaching and learning and through our diverse collections and varied resource formats we can help them all benefit as fully as possible.
Schools ‘join’ and subscribe subject to our standard terms and conditions, published in full on the WSLR website. Membership is for one full financial year – April to March – at a time, with exceptions for ‘trial’ memberships. Renewal is expected and is automatic (but with full scope to vary the options taken) unless three months’ notice has been given to cease service at the end of a school term.
Whole school membership entitles all teachers to access all resources in the categories subscribed for. We offer a range of options, so that each school can subscribe for exactly the resources that it needs.
Alternatively, our Pay-As-You-Use service (now incorporating the former Individual Teacher Option) is available for schools with a more limited budget and/or flexible or uncertain needs, and offers item-by-item access to our full range of resources.
Membership also brings entitlement to a number of core services and facilities – including access to the WSLR discount bookshop facility, arranged with our leading trade supplier, to enable schools to save more on the books they buy for themselves.
Other options include: advisory services for those with school library responsibilities; audio-visual services to support school projects and productions; and a training/CPD programme - all offered on a ‘pay-as-you-use’ basis.
Details of options and prices are published annually and circulated to all schools. For additional copies, or in the event of queries, please contact WSLR at Trowbridge.
WSLR’s main base is in Trowbridge, open 8.30am to 5:00pm Monday to Friday. To collect items set aside by prior request or to return resources, please just call in. To visit us and browse or select resources, please phone for an appointment.
