Stationery FAQS

How quickly can stationery orders be delivered?

Delivery times can vary depending on what you're ordering and the time of year. Standard stock items can be dispatched quickly, while personalised products such as printed exercise books may take a little longer to produce. If you're ordering for a specific date or preparing for a new term, our team can advise on current lead times and help you plan ahead. Just get in touch!

Can I order stationery and personalised exercise books together?

Absolutely. Many of our customers order stationery and personalised exercise books together, especially towards the end of the school year when they're planning ahead for September. Placing everything in one order makes it easier to get classrooms ready for the new term and gives you one less thing to think about during back-to-school.

Are your glue sticks safe for classroom use?

Yes. All of the glue sticks we supply are water-based, washable, non-toxic and solvent-free, making them suitable for every classroom and children of all ages. They're perfect for arts and crafts, display work and general learning activities.

Can schools buy stationery in bulk?

Absolutely. Many of our customers choose to buy stationery in bulk to make ordering easier and keep classrooms well stocked throughout the term. Larger pack sizes can also be a more cost-effective option and also reduce the need for frequent top-up orders. However you choose to manage your stationery supplies, we're here to help make the process as straightforward as possible.

What stationery should I keep stocked in my school?

The stationery you use most often is usually the first to run out. Items like pencils, pens, glue sticks, crayons and sharpeners are used every day in the classroom, so it's a good idea to keep a few extras on hand. Having a small backup supply helps you avoid last-minute orders and keeps your lessons running smoothly.

Why should schools keep spare geometry and exam sets?

Many pupils will bring their own geometry or exam set to school, but keeping a few spares available can save a lot of stress. They're useful for maths and science lessons throughout the year and can be invaluable during tests and exams if a pupil forgets their equipment. Having spare sets ready helps make sure everyone has the tools they need to complete their work confidently and without disruption.

Which stationery products are most useful for primary schools?

Most primary schools rely on a combination of writing and creative resources every day. Pencils, crayons, glue sticks, scissors and sharpeners are all classroom essentials that support everything from handwriting practice to art projects and display work.

Do you sell stationery for arts and crafts?

Yes. You'll find a range of creative supplies including crayons, paints, modelling materials and adhesives. Whether you're planning an art lesson, creating a classroom display or organising a themed activity, you'll find plenty of resources to support creative learning.
