What discounts can teachers get?

Have a quick search online and you’ll see that there are lots of discounts and deals available to teachers. These might be available directly from a retailer, through your local education authority, from your school, or through specialist discount companies.

You’ll be able to find a long list of retailers and brands offering discounts through specialist discount companies or by searching for specific companies online. However, discounts available through local education authorities or your school might be a little harder to find. Do some digging or ask the office at your school — these deals might not be advertised.
