Teacher's page

Teachers! Are you looking for fresh ideas to use in the classroom? We have a a huge range of colourful and stimulating resources for you to use in the classroom. The site was initially set up to help parents, but the interest shown by schools led us to open up the site to teachers, many of whom are now using our resources in the classroom and as homework activities.

We appreciate that both parents and teachers have a role in educating, stimulating and encouraging enjoyment in learning for children of all ages. We aim to offer an insight into the systems of schooling, subjects covered for their child's key stage and the achievements possible for each age group.
