NEW! Primary School e-membership

As an e-member all the benefits are available online, so both the Primary Science journal and Education in Science magazine are available as electronic rather than hard copies.Primary Schools can now make significant savings on their membership by becoming e-members. In addition to all the usual Primary School benefits, the new membership package offers free access to the resource site Primary upd8.

All this at the introductory price of £77, plus VAT. Details on how to apply are available in the Primary e-membership Application Form.
