CLASSMATES have made it their purpose to create products that have the same if not better quality, durability and price as the big brands.

What’s more, the CLASSMATES Money Back Guarantee* covers you if you don’t love your CLASSMATES products as much as we do!
Don’t just take our word for it…
Teachers regularly share how much they love the CLASSMATES products like Mr Kinnear who tells us that the first thing he does when he gets some new colouring pens for the classroom is to test them on his hands to make sure that they are washable, as he knows that that is what his pupils will do! Mrs Rodgers has recently moved to CLASSMATES and tells us how much this has helped her save for the school with improved overall quality of classroom resources.
Not just Glue Sticks.
We know that teachers and pupils love the convenience of glue sticks, so much so that over 25k of the most popular size of CLASSMATES glue sticks were purchased last year! But as well as glue, pens, pencils, colouring pencils, scissors, tape and every type of Stationery or Arts and Craft materials that a school or classroom could need, you will also find Furniture, Facilities, and Curricular ranges for every education setting and all with the same CLASSMATES value and quality promise we know you’ll love.
Exercise Books.
Let’s not forget CLASSMATES Exercise Books. We all know how important a specific colour or style of book is by subject and also how much it varies by teacher or school. Overall though, it’s the quality of the covers and paper inside, the vibrant colours and the breadth of choice of size, ruling and even paper colour which is important. CLASSMATES have it all covered understanding that if your budget will stretch to the quality you want this will have a knock on effect and help pupils take pride in their books as Mrs Brown shared recently.
Teacher checklist friendly!
Teachers love lists. Many tell us that they keep a list going in the classroom to add to as they get low on various resources they need. Glue sticks are often top of the list of course! Copier paper for homework or activities, coloured card for seasonal crafts, white board pens, hand writing pens, colouring pens and pencils, coloured chalk, paint and PVA glue are all up there too. Many teachers then share the list with the school office or school business manager who may add in special furniture requests such as tables, chairs, rugs, cushions or storage solutions such as trays and tubs. Let’s not forget the all important paper towels, toilet roll, wipes, tissues or dining room supplies too. With Smart Ordering wish lists can be effortlessly shared and converted to orders in seconds.
Caring for the environment too.
CLASSMATES has been developed with sustainability in mind. There are many eco options available and CLASSMATES is also on a journey to make packaging 100% sustainable, with 35% of the range already changed and work already in progress for the rest of the range.
