What people say...

“
”

As DT teachers we often struggle to find resources that come up to standard so it was refreshing to find your resources which look fantastic by the way!! With this, my mind was made up that the cost of the resources was more than worth it particularly when I saw the offer of spreading the cost over three years.

This is such a steep learning curve, but PG Online materials have been great and really support me and my students.
