I am a primary school teacher and assistant head. I love my job and my aim is to produce high quality teaching resources that motivate learners and make life easier for teachers! All of my resources are ready to teach, differentiated and easy to adapt.
I don't make resources just to sell, all uploads have been made to be used in my own classroom. Therefore, I can vouch for their suitability, pitch and quality.
