It might be the beginning of the summer school holidays for most teachers but that doesn't mean they are not entitled to supermarket and shop discounts.
The Discounts For Teachers scheme is different to the Blue Light Card, which is a discount card for emergency service workers. The education discount is for anyone who works within the sector, including teaching assistants, school administrators and even volunteers and retired education workers can use it.
But the teacher had not heard of the scheme until a colleague announced it in her school's staff room. "She said 'thank goodness we have got Discounts For Teachers', but a whole group of us had never heard of it before," Rhian explained. "I get a lot of use out of it, and I use it most weeks. It is great when buying gifts for people. I can get people things I would not be able to afford otherwise." Rhian's favourite deal was discounted AA Breakdown cover - because her car broke down two months after buying it.
