Services for Schools Online Ordering System
Our service gives you access to resources worth far more than the cost of a subscription and selected to suit the abilities of your pupils.
We have an extensive stock that covers a wide range of subjects. You can choose from a variety of formats, suitable for different special educational needs.
We take pressure off teachers with practical help and sound advice on how to create an enticing library or book corner. We also offer Bag Books sessions to provide a fun experience with stories.
Just to say thank you once again for a perfect selection of books to support our topic and the needs of our boys. So much appreciated.
