"Craig Shepherd at Glebe School here. I'm a teacher at a special needs secondary school. I'd met one of your folk a while ago and he explained that we could access the activities. These are great for our pupils - pitched just right for their ability level."

"Over the past couple of years we have used your fantastic site. Is it possible for schools outside of England to continue to use your site?"
 
Kerry Read
ICT Teacher, Queensland, Australia

"I am the Technology Teacher at Killearn Lakes Elementary School in Tallahassee Florida. I have been using your site for two years. It is one of our students' favorite places. I only have a handful of sites that I include in my program because I am so fussy about the content.
We love you ...." Louise Roylance

"It is such a great site for the kids to use - we all love it at Bearsden Primary!"
