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.

Do I need specialist materials?

No. Projects use everyday classroom materials and printable steps, ideal for busy timetables and cover lessons.
