FAQs: History Textbooks
Can I buy all exam boards from you?
Yes! We sell schools all UK exam boards including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC & Eduqas and CCEA. We also sell resources to suit International Curricula including the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) for iGCSE and International A Level qualifications.
Do you sell textbooks for every secondary school qualification?
Yes! We sell schools textbooks for all qualifications from Key Stage Three to Key Stage Five. This includes year group qualifications like GCSE and A Level plus their international equivalents the iGCSE and International A Levels. We can supply resources for alternative qualifications for Sixth Form including BTEC and T Levels and are the main European supplier for the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP and DP). We can also supply resources for 11+ and 13+ secondary school entry examinations.
How much can my school save on history textbooks?
Schools get discount on RRP all year round. We aim to offer schools competitive discounts consistently rather than very short-term opportunities to save. For history textbooks that suit GCSE and A Level, as well as other qualifications and subjects, our textbook discounts range from 15% to 35%. If you are looking for large bulk orders it is always worth getting in touch for our best possible discounts.
Can I buy history textbooks and other textbooks at the same time?
Yes! We have vast experience suppling schools with multi-department back to school orders. You can either send your history and other department orders to us via our website or contact us to organise how and when you want your order to arrive. We will pack the whole school order by department and can suit dispatch to when you’d like your books to arrive.
How does my school order History textbooks?
You can choose the process you prefer. Our website carries several thousand textbooks, and you can add what you require to your basket and place an order online. The website shows the discounts schools receive show on each title, including our extra discount for bulk ordering, and these will be reflected in the confirmation you receive when you place your order. Alternatively, you can contact us directly for a personalised quote. Simply tell us which titles you require and how many and we will email you an itemised quote which details what you save on each title.
Can I get my history textbooks jacketed?
Yes! We can put plastic jackets on your textbooks for you before we dispatch them so they will arrive ready to be used in class. You can see our servicing information here.
