Morrisons offers 10 per cent discount to teachers and school staff

School workers can make the savings at stores in Taunton and Bridgwater from Monday (November 2) until after Christmas, the supermarket has announced.

The discount, running in stores nationwide, is a thank you to half a million teachers and additional school staff who are looking after the nation’s children and supporting them through the Covid-19 pandemic.

Primary, secondary, private and special educational school teachers can all claim the discount, as well as all teaching assistants, catering staff, dinner ladies, caretakers, cleaners and school office staff.

They will also be able to participate in a dedicated shopping hour alongside NHS workers from 6am to 7am from Mondays to Saturdays before stores open to other customers.

Morrisons also offers a 10 per cent discount for NHS staff which was introduced in April.

David Potts, Morrisons chief executive, said: “Teachers and school staff are facing many challenges and the education of our children has never been more important.

"This discount is our way of saying thank you as they continue to care for and educate our kids."

Teachers and school staff can claim the 10 per cent discount on their groceries by presenting their school photo ID card at the till in any of Morrisons 498 stores.
