School workbooks for Years 1–9
What Penela families need to know for the 2026/27 school year.
The municipality announced that workbooks and activity books will be provided to all pupils in local basic education from Year 1 through Year 9, working with Agrupamento de Escolas Infante D. Pedro.
The practical point
Parents and guardians were asked not to purchase the relevant workbooks and activity books independently. The school will manage distribution at the beginning of term.
- Wait for the school’s list
- Confirm which materials are included
- Keep receipts only for items the school says are not covered

What the announcement covers
The 2026–27 measure covers workbooks and activity books for pupils from Year 1 through Year 9 in the municipality. It is separate from the national textbook-voucher process and from personal stationery requested by a teacher.
Families should wait for the school’s final information before buying anything that may be included. That avoids duplicate purchases and gives the school time to match materials to each class.
At the start of term
Check the pupil’s name, year and class when materials are distributed. If a title is missing, damaged or different from the teacher’s list, ask the school before replacing it privately.
