Frequently asked questions
Are these suitable for UK schools and exam boards?
Yes. Content is written to match national-curriculum expectations and revision for the main boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC/Eduqas). Tasks are exam-style rather than board-specific, so they fit whichever specification you follow. We are an independent publisher and not affiliated with any exam board.
Which boards does this suit?
It is board-neutral — the writing skills and mark-scheme-style rubrics apply across AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas.
What will I receive, and can I reuse it?
Everything downloads instantly as editable Microsoft Word documents and PowerPoint slides with full answer keys, so you can print class sets or teach on screen. Each purchase is licensed for your own classroom and can be reused with new students every year.
