Our A4 exercise books come in a wide range of rulings, so you can choose the right layout for the subject, age group or type of work. Options include lined pages in different widths, squared paper, handwriting rulings, plain pages and books that combine blank and lined sections.
For example, squared pages are ideal for Maths and Science, while lined books work well for English and everyday written work. We also have specialist handwriting rulings to help pupils with letter formation, sizing and spacing.
How do I choose the right ruling for my pupils?
It depends on what the books will be used for and the level of support your pupils need. Wider lines and larger squares give younger pupils more room to write and work, while narrower rulings are better suited to pupils who are comfortable writing at a smaller size.
For handwriting practice, we offer guided rulings with solid and dashed lines to help pupils develop consistent letter size, positioning and spacing. If pupils need space for both written and visual work, you can also choose books that combine lined and blank areas.
How many pages are in an A4 exercise book?
There are several sizes to choose from depending on how much work you need each book to hold. Our A4 exercise books are available with 32, 48, 64, 80 or 96 sides.
A book with fewer sides can be useful for shorter topics or projects, while a larger book is a practical choice for subjects that will be used regularly throughout the term or school year.
What colours do A4 exercise books come in?
There are 12 bright cover colours to choose from, including Gold, Blue, Yellow, Green, Cream, Pink, Grey, Red, Orange, Lime Green, Purple and Dark Blue.
Choosing different colours can also make organising books easier. You could use a different colour for each subject, class or year group, helping your pupils and other teachers quickly identify the book they need.
How quickly can I get A4 exercise books?
Our standard A4 exercise books are a great choice when you need books quickly. As there's no personalised artwork or cover design to approve, we can get straight to work on your order, with Express Book orders dispatched within 48 hours of us receiving your order.
If you need your school logo or a bespoke cover design, we also offer personalised exercise books. These take a little longer as your artwork needs to be prepared and approved before production can begin.
