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.

Can I adapt it to my department’s plan?

Yes. Everything is editable so you can slot units into your KS3–KS4 curriculum map.

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.
