IN AND OUT OF THE EAGLE 36

There is still a publication that bears the name EAGLE produced currently in Britain, although the title is actually in Latin. Aquila is a monthly educational magazine for 8-14 year olds which contains a mix of factual articles, challenging puzzles and fun activities, designed to stimulate and enhance children's skills and knowledge. It is produced by a small independent publisher called New Leaf Publishing, based in Eastbourne and is available internationally by subscription, with many schools as well as individuals subscribing. It carries no advertising and prides itself on its substantial text content, which contrasts strongly with most magazines published for children today. Despite its aims and educational content, Aquila bears little resemblance to our EAGLE or indeed to the famous educational magazine Look and Learn. Nevertheless it is a commendable publication and most importantly it is actually read by children. It has been running for thirty years and has a readership of 35,000.
