What people say...

Thank you for your excellent work, PG Online. Your resources are a blessing to every teacher!

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.
