About Rising Stars: Rising Stars UK Ltd, Independent Educational Publisher of the Year 2008, has a portfolio of over 600 products. The company creates books, software and online resources to support teaching and learning in Primary and Secondary schools. Products are trialled extensively, developed in conjunction with practitioners and meet the highest quality standards. Rising Stars has more than 40,000 customers in 14,000 schools, and is third largest publisher of assessment materials in the UK.

The company has a strong reputation for developing materials that are relevant, reliable and affordable. Teacher feedback is vital to the publishing process and the company’s close relationship with schools, local authorities and government agencies ensures that publishing is timely and quick if necessary – essential for schools looking to cope with curriculum change (and very difficult for larger publishing corporations to emulate).

Key publishing areas at Rising Stars include Assessment publishing, materials for revision and test preparation, curriculum books and software plus a wide range of reading resources for reluctant and less-able readers. Strong relationships have been formed with NASEN (The National Association for Special Educational Needs) and NACE (The National Association for Able Children in Education), leading to the creation of carefully tailored SEN and Gifted and Talented resources. Every book or piece of software created meets a specific need and is tested and reviewed by schools, educational advisors and subject experts.

The company has won a number of awards including Education Publisher of the Year in 2008, Education Publishers of the Year in 2008, Education Publishers of the Year in 2007 and Primary Resource of the Year in 2008.
