In The Club


Those who have come through the primary school will be familiar with the way a book club works - students take home catalogues and place an order to buy any of the books in them that they like the look of.  These books are then delivered to the school and distributed to take home.  For many students at primary it´s one of the highlights of the year, and the benefits of choosing your own books to enjoy at home, away from the pressures of school and studying, cannot be overstated.

And now there´s the chance for secondary students to get involved!  By now all students in Years 6-10 should have received their catalogue from Baker Books International Book Club and taken it home.  There are some wonderful books in there and something to suit all ages from 10-16.  If you see a book you would like to add to your home collection all you need to do is talk very nicely to a parent (or whoever holds the purse strings in your household) and ask them to buy it for you.

Paying for the books really couldn´t be easier.  We have set up a brand new, state-of-the-art facility called Parent Pay, which means that parents simply need to go to this web address http://parentpay.bakerbooks.co.uk/clubs/SWASPA1 and pay with their debit or credit card.  It is completely secure and can all be done from the comfort of your own home.  How easy is that?

And why should you buy books this way instead of through other well known booksellers?  The benefits are two-fold.  Firstly because the books on offer in this catalogue have been hand-picked and specially selected by educators as being great reads and resources for students, and secondly because for every book our students order the library will receive credit to put towards books to add to our collection.  So it really is a win-win!

Deadline for orders is Friday 23rd May, so that your brand new books will be delivered and distributed before the end of term.  Make sure you get your order in before then.
