I’m a new teacher in my first year and can’t imagine the mess I’d be in without the PG Online lesson plans to work with.

The inspection copy of your book is excellent, really well done. I'll be pushing for some of your A-Level and KS3 resources this year, they are brilliant! This is just the sort of stuff teachers need.
