How do I use Scholastic Rewards?
If parents or staff have ordered from us and donated free books to your school you will receive Scholastic Rewards (Scholastic Book Vouchers). These can be used to purchase most of the hundreds of books and resources in the Scholastic Shop.
If you work at a school and have Scholastic Rewards that you want to use please log in or register. If we don’t already know we’ll need you to tell us which school you work at.
Once you’re logged in you’ll see a ‘Use Rewards’ button next to the products you can order. Just add the quantity and click the button and the books you want to use Rewards for will be added to your basket.
How many Scholastic Rewards (Scholastic Book Vouchers) do I have?
If you work for a school you may receive your Scholastic Rewards online or printed on your advice note.
Online Rewards
If you are logged in, the value of your Scholastic Rewards will appear automatically in the red box on the left-hand side of each Scholastic Shop page. (If you can’t see this you may need to scroll further down the page.) Please note that this value is just a reminder for you: it will not decrease automatically as you add items to your basket.
The value of your Rewards will be taken off your order total once you have proceeded to the checkout.
Printed Rewards
The value of any printed Rewards that you have received will only be taken from your order if you enter the serial number into the appropriate box during checkout process. Your printed Rewards will not be displayed as part of the total on the left-hand side of the Scholastic Shop pages.

How can I get my books delivered to my child’s school?
If your child’s school has a School Group Order open you can have your books delivered to the school for FREE. This will be as part of the whole school’s order that will be distributed to the children in class.
As you go through the checkout choose the school that you’d like the delivery to be made to receive free books from your order. When you get to the delivery screen you will be able to choose the school for your delivery address. If this is not an option then the school does not have a School Group Order open. You will need to check with the school to find out when this will be available.
Can I choose for my free books to go to more than one school?
If you’re buying books for children that go to two different schools and you want both schools to benefit from your order you will need to go through the checkout twice. Once selecting your first chosen school and then again selecting your second chosen school.
Don’t forget you don’t pay for postage on any orders that go to your children’s school. You only pay for postage on orders less than £30 that are being delivered to a non-school address.
Do you send inspection copies?
We don’t send inspection copies out but we want you to be 100% satisfied with any of the products that you buy from us. So, if within 14 days you are not happy with your purchase, return it to us for a full refund—no questions asked.
This does not affect your statutory rights.

I’m a school. Can you tell me how I can get free books?
When anyone places an order on this site they’re asked to choose a school that will benefit from their order. We’ll give 20p in every £1 spent to the school of their choice to spend on books.
Just ask staff and parents to search for your school when they’re prompted at the checkout in order to get free books. At the end of each month your school will receive Scholastic Rewards in the post worth 20% of the total value of orders allocated to your school for that month. You can redeem Rewards against a wide range of books and resources in any of our current catalogues including most of the books in this shop. The vouchers are valid for 12 months.
You can earn even more FREE BOOKS by running a Book Club in your school. Find out more in our site for teachers.
