Learnnewsdesk is the Guardian’s online news service for school pupils which provides a real-life  context for curriculum topics, and helps to improve pupils'  literacy  by  encouraging a daily reading habit. With new articles and features everyday, their experienced editorial team ensures teachers will  always be able to find trustworthy resources and inspiring classroom activities that engage their pupils. Used in more than 4,000 primary and secondary schools, learnnewsdesk also invites pupils to express their opinions. With a highly interactive design, learnnewsdesk allows pupils to submit their own stories and comments for publication online, giving pupils a real purpose for their writing...

"Staff at Wyke school in Bradford where we are piloting the Guardian's mobile learnnewsdesk are very excited. As soon as they saw the news service, they immediately started writing news-related lesson plans. The science teachers were particularly keen, and plan to use learnnewsdesk when science hits the headlines. This is certainly a high-quality service for users of mobile devices in schools." - Dr Alan Beecham, Education Bradford
