Payment

Paying by invoice

Invoices must be billed to a valid school address. If you do not work at a school, you will need to pay by debit or credit card.

When requesting an invoice you will need to provide a contact name and an invoice number. The invoice number is for your school records, so if you’re not sure what to put ask your bursar or school secretary.

Please note that if you are purchasing for a school outside the UK we will require you to pay your invoice in full before we can ship your order.
