A professional looking, well structured set of lessons with some very good activities. Fits very well with the Michael Witherick core textbook. Being new to the curriculum but not GCSE it saved me a lot of time at the end of year 10 when I needed to start Paper 2 material but was running out of steam. I'm planning on looking into your other GCSE and A level resources.
A fantastic set of lessons that cover all components of the course. Lessons are well planned, well structured and have a lovely theming running through them. Thank you for keeping your prices affordable. The level of work in your resources is truly evident and I look forward to using more of your work in the future!
