“Great book shop”
Written on: 20/08/2012 by Benhall (1 review written)
I find this bookshop a great way of accessing quality books for school. The selection of books is always first rate and relevant. It is fairly easy to search for books except that once you look at a book in detail you have to start the search again to look at the rest of the search contents. It would be even better if there were more books available. (read more)

“Superb Customer Service!”
Written on: 03/08/2012 by Piglet1969
I ordered a box set of Cherub paperbacks for my son to take on holiday. It was cheaper by far than Amazon or Ebay and I chose to get them delivered to the school so I would not incur postage costs. I was worried they might not arrive before school broke up as I ordered on the Sunday and school was finishing on the following Friday. I dropped a short email to check and got an immediate reply assuring me they would be received. They were in fact received on the Wednesday along with a voucher... (read more)

“Happy Grandchildren”
Written on: 12/07/2012
I bought Captain underpants for my grandson's birthday. A very happy little boy and his mum who finds the stories very funny. It was great value as some other sites were asking a lot more for the same item. As an OAP I'm always looking for value for money and this time I found it. Scolastic is a great site for quality books and I think it is important to keep the reading habit alive in our younger generation. Thank you and well done Scolastic. I also bought a not your bithday presant for... (read more)

“Hours On End!”
Written on: 09/07/2012
The Site is colourful and full of great books and resources - so much so, it's always difficult to choose and limit myself in terms of numbers and cost! I could spend hours on the site!! Navigating the site does not always lead me to where I want to go, which is frustrating, but always leads to something interesting! When seaching for an author or book title, I wish I could get the response - "We don't have it!" (read more)

“Fantastic service and good value!”
Written on: 08/07/2012 by ruthjane (1 review written)
I was very happy that the products I bought were competitively priced. I received my delivery quickly, and there was no delivery charge. I was also impressed that my child's scholl receives money back for books, each time I buy from Scholastic, this is a real incentive for me, and will benefit my own children's experience at school. All in all I was very impressed by the service. I will definately use Scholastic again, and will recommend to others. (read more)

“Thank you, Scholastic”
Written on: 08/07/2012
I inherited our school Scholastic account when a senior member of staff retired. Frankly, I was expecting to try and fail as I am not at all business-minded. However the system is so easy to use and the support so effecient that the problems I feared never materialised. We are a small, rural school (usually around the 100-pupil mark) so business is never going to boom but there is enough interest to make it worthwhile. Some of the children are highly enthusiastic, asking when the next... (read more)

I've used scholastic a couple of times now and I have to say I've been delighted both times. The orders come quickly and the prices are great.

I have always found the Scholastic company a pleasure to deal with and their service is consistently reliable and efficient. A great range of stock and if anything is temporarily out of stock they always deal with the problem quickly. Nothing flashy or gimmicky but good, simple service on a regular basis and that is how it should be. (read more)

As an ex-teacher I have used the book club thought my school but was recently looking for some books for my toddler and this was the only place I could find them ended up paying £20 for a set of 12 books, which normally retail at £4.99 each! also bought a whole host of other books because they were SO cheap. I saved tonnes and was even able to help out a charity as 20p out of every £1 goes to a school library of your choice. I was even more pleased when i realised delivery was free, this... (read more)
