I can’t view/print the worksheets or test papers
Most downloadable documents are Adobe (.pdf) files. In order to view these you need to have Adobe Reader on your computer. This is available for FREE and you can download it from the Adobe web site by clicking here. Please ensure you are using a current version. If you have high security settings, this may cause a problem. Sometimes, your computer settings may cause pages to open in a new or minimised window, or may save worksheets directly to your hard drive - please check your downloaded files on your PC in the event of problems. 

My child cannot complete the worksheets on line. 
Our worksheets are designed to be printed and used off line. 

I am using a Mac
You can still view our documents. You might need to install viewers for MS Word (.docx) or Adobe (.pdf) files as explained above.

How many worksheets and test papers do you have?
There are over 7500 worksheets and links to other resources available. If you have questions about the resources available, please contact us prior to subscribing. 

Do you provide answers to the question papers?
We endeavour to provide answers to most worksheet questions where appropriate and to the test and exam papers written by us, with the exception of a few of the English papers, particularly comprehension, where the answers are subjective. We do not see the necessity of providing answers to very basic worksheets.

Answers to SATS/ICGSE/GCSE papers are contained in the Mark Schemes/Teacher's guides which can be found through the Worksheet Finder. Other answers are generally found at the end of each worksheet. Where links are provided to other sites, or papers included from schools and publishers, we cannot guarantee that answers are available.

How do I find work at the correct level or for a specific year group?
All children work at different levels and you, as their parent, are the best judge of the suitable work for your child. Many of our worksheets are marked with the appropriate school year. We also have a series of Year Group pages which include a selection of resources. Once you have ascertained from these the level at which your child is working, you can select appropriate worksheets using the Worksheet Finder and the key stage required. The backgrounds of the page thumbnails show the key stage - yellow FS, orange KS1, green KS2, grey KS3.  All our pages on science, history, geography, RE and citizenship are arranged by year group.
