We are a passionate advocate for reading and learning, providing children, parents and teachers with access to the very best books, resources and support to help them succeed. Through initiatives such as Scholastic Book Clubs and Scholastic Book Fairs, we bring children together and encourage a lifelong love of reading both at home and in the classroom.

At the heart of everything we do is our mission to inspire young readers. Each year, we donate thousands of free books to schools, helping to build libraries and classroom collections that broaden horizons, develop critical thinking skills and encourage children to believe in their potential.

We work closely with leading literacy charities and organisations, including the National Literacy Trust, The Reading Agency and World Book Day, to help improve literacy and promote reading for pleasure.

Scholastic employs approximately 270 colleagues across the UK and Ireland, with our largest sites located in London and Warwick.

To achieve our mission, we need talented people who share our passion for literacy, learning and children’s education. If you are looking to join a purpose-driven organisation where your work can make a genuine difference, we’d love to hear from you.
