The Day

The Day is a daily digital newspaper for schools which focuses on the big global issues beneath the headlines. The Day team believe the right question matters more than the right answer.

The Day offers resources for all levels from key stages one to five. Its dedicated newsroom writes news, features, polls, quizzes, translations and activities to bring the wider world into the classroom. Through the news, The Day helps children and teachers develop the thinking, speaking and writing skills to build a better world. You can use The Day in lessons, form time, or assemblies across the whole school.

You can book a free trial here, and NACE members get a great discount on new annual subscriptions – find out more here (login required).
