Is it possible? I'm 15 and go to secondary school, and at the moment I plan on buying a Macbook Pro through the online store so I can recieve the education discount as well as making use of the printer offer. Are both of these plausible if I go to an Apple Store? And if I can't do it in-store and buy it online, how will they know I go to school? What is different in the process?
Got a tip for us?

If you are in school you won't get the HE discount.
http://store.apple.com/uk-edu is the best you can get, your 15 now so i assume you will be starting College or University in September anyway so you could wait till then.

Yeah, but what proof would they need, or none because of how I look?
And also, does the 50% printer deal apply in-store or is it an online thing?
I'm not looking to do the HE or FE education discount, but the School one?
"School or any
other education establishment.
Shop Now"
Isn't that for secondary school?

Yes and that is the link i sent you, you wont get the same deals as the HE one though just a tiny discount if any.
Oh I'm fine with that, it now means the top spec Macbook pro 15" is in by budget so I'm happy. So would the discount for School work instore if I go with my parents to buy the laptop there and then? If I ask to get the discount, would they theoretically just give it to me?
Try calling your nearest Apple store and asking. Also, don't forget to note the name of whoever you speak to just in case they don't offer what they quoted on the phone when you visit the store.
The HE discount works in store though i have never tried the normal education discount, though if i was the floor manager i would be suspicious you were trying to get this cheeper for your parents so online may prove less hassle.
A school is an education establishment! You should be able to get the discount in store as well. Just bring some proof.

FE discount varies. Not all FE students get the same deal, it is quite complex! See the tread I linked above.
