Educational Magazines for Schools

MAGAZINES MAKE LEARNING FUN

We supply schools throughout the UK and abroad with magazine subscriptions so that members of staff can use them as a key resource, to help improve independent reading skills inside and away from the classroom.

Our service is both personal and flexible, allowing you to manage your institution's needs without worrying about managing a subscription. Unique Magazines looks after your subscription for you, and we can provide single issues or short-term subscriptions with ease. We keep things simple, making it easy for you to quickly order and renew your magazine subscriptions and keeping everything on one invoice.

Magazine Resources for Primary Schools

Magazines are a great, fun, way to encourage kids to read.

As many as 20% of children in the UK struggle with reading, and if they aren't encouraged when they're young then they are likely to struggle to re-engage with literature later in life.

Whilst most children learn to read in school, some associate reading with work, not pleasure, struggling with the length and scope of some books. Magazines are an ideal tool to alleviate the pressure on pupils struggling with reading large amounts, and have been proven to increase independent reading time.

Good literacy skills are the key to understanding other academic areas including maths and science, and through easy to digest fun facts, puzzles, games, quizzes and activities, magazines work towards making learning less daunting and more accessible.

Education used in primary schools

Unique magazines does not just provide a magazine, it provides a service. I am always aware of special offers for magazines and the emails are personalised to suit my needs. I know in good time when the subscription is coming to an end and changing the subscriptions is never a problem.

Magazines Popular with our University and College customers

Are you interested in providing your students with some of the best educational magazine resources available?

We have worked with schools over the last seven years to managing their magazine subscriptions, so we know that teachers and schools want the best magazine resources with the least hassle and administration overhead. With that in mind we have a simple four-step process, which gives you exactly what you need, when you need it.

Step One

Visit our web store to learn more about which magazines will work with your institution. Our magazines are separated by category, and when you click through to a title you will see a description about the product. If you aren't sure which magazines to subscribe to, our Primary and Secondary school subscription packages are also listed. Alternatively you can get in touch with our customer service team to discuss your specific needs and we will work to identify the magazine titles most relevant for your institution.

Step Two

Ring us on 0191 2702800 or email enquiries@uniquemagazines.co.uk, where our excellent customer service team will put a quote together for you. Our team has years of experience working with schools and teachers to identify the titles which will provide the greatest benefit to schools and students.

Step Three

Once your list of magazine titles has been created and you are happy with the selection you have chosen, we will invoice you for those subscriptions. You can choose whether your magazine subscriptions start immediately or if you wish to delay commencement until the start of a particular term.. We will liaise with publishers to provide you with accurate subscription start and end dates, as well as the first and last magazine issue numbers.

Step Four

We will manage the subscription process for you and monitor the status of your subscriptions. None of your subscriptions will automatically renew. Instead, when your magazine subscriptions are nearing their completion we will work with you to determine which magazine subscriptions you would like to renew, as well as any new magazine titles you would like to subscribe to.

Common Questions about our Subscription Management Service for Educational Establishments

Can we build our own magazine package?
If you have a list of titles in mind, by all means you can send your list of titles and we will create a package for you, or simply ring us on 0191 2702800 and we can provide guidance on which publications are suitable for your School, College or University.
What is the range of magazines you offer to educational establishments?
Our full range of over 2,000 magazine titles, with a vast majority being age appropriate in various subjects, interests and hobbies is available for subscription to educational facilities. In some cases we have access to special subscription discounts which are only available to educational establishments.
Will our magazine subscriptions automatically renew?
We understand that many customers are concerned that subscriptions may auto renew every year, whether they are still needed or not. This is not the case with our service. Once your subscription has finished, we'll contact you to ask if you would like to carry on with your subscriptions, or change magazines, or add additional magazines to your order. We understand the magazines come in and out of style and that the school might need different titles as lesson plans are developed and adapted to use other magazine resources.
Are we able to setup magazines as prizes or student rewards?
Yes of course, and this is a very popular service that we offer. Just let us know where and to whom you need the magazines to be sent to and we will set everything up.

Yes. If you send us a quick email to enquiries@uniquemagazines.co.uk or contact us on 0191 2702800 we can send you a list of titles.

Not at all. You can subscribe to a single magazine, or to dozens of titles, and you will still benefit from our exceptional subscription management service for educational establishments.

What if we have an existing subscription already in place?
Don't worry. We can link up your new subscription with your existing one so you don’t miss out on any issues or receive any duplication.
When can we expect our first issue?
All magazines are dispatched from our warehouse and if the current issue is in stock, you will receive within 2-3 days (UK customers) when we are out of stock, your order will start with the next isuse.
When we order, can we deliver to different departments?
If you email us or ring us up, we can guarantee separate magazines being sent to different departments within your institution. You can also set this up online through our web store.
Are we able to trial magazines with single issues?
Of course, we offer single copies on a majority of our magazines. If you would like to purchase a single copy of a magazine in order to validate it's potential as a teaching resource, we can arrange that for you.
Do your costs include admin fees?
We do not take any admin fees or service changes. So you can simply buy the magazines that you need and not worry about anything else.

We are happy to invoice schools and are flexible to fall in line with your procurement procedures. We also accept Credit or Debit Cards, Cheques and BACs payments.
