In order to make our free resources widely available to schools we are working in partnership with Promethean Planet and the London Grid for Learning (and through them the NEN) to create an effective education distribution network.
We offer free video and audio to watch or download in iTunes U, YouTube and the TES for teachers and students, to support projects or homework.
