Morrisons offers teachers 10 per cent discount amid coronavirus outbreak

Morrisons is a hit on social media this evening after becoming the first major UK supermarket to announce an in-store discount for teachers and school staff.

Recognising their efforts in keeping schools open during the coronavirus pandemic and ensuring key workers with children can continue to work, this will kick off on Monday and run until 3rd January 2021.

All of us at Morrisons would like to say thank you to the nation's school teachers. We're offering a 10% discount on your shopping in store, from now until after Christmas.
Ts&Cs apply. Valid school photo ID required. See https://t.co/fHRvQqJSKc for details. pic.twitter.com/MuRtuczR1a

It will cover both groceries and Nutmeg clothing. The 10% discount will apply to all teachers working in primary, secondary and private schools and all staff, including teaching assistants, dinner and cleaning staff.

The supermarket already offers a 10% discount for NHS workers.

Bravo, Morrisons, bravo!

UPDATE: Morrisons has extended the discount to all teaching and support staff who work with children aged 18 and under.

Wow think this is the first time EVER that I've seen teachers get any sort of recognition! Well done Morrisons 👏
