The Internet can be a great asset to the Primary teacher, not just in the classroom but also a help when it come to planning. This site is just one of the many teaching resources sites on the Internet. It contains a bank of free, ready to use ideas, resources, worksheets and lesson plans. They're available for you to use with your class at no cost whatsoever (except the cost of your connection to the Internet!).

This site was opened in November 1998 and originally started out as a small collection of some of the worksheets I'd created for use in school. During the next year I started putting on material from other teachers and since then the site has grown to offer many thousands of worksheets and lesson ideas sent in from teachers from around the UK and the rest of the world. (See this page for more details)

To view the material simply click on the appropriate subject link in the menu bar on the left hand side of the screen. You can find more information about the file types (and the programs you'll need to open them) on this page of the website.

This site is usually updated weekly during UK term times. You can subscribe to my site's mailing list if you want to know when I've added new resources (and what resources I've added). It's also worth keeping an eye on our Primary Resources blog which features news and links to other sites of interest.

I hope that you find plenty of things on this site that's useful to you. I always appreciate feedback. You can discuss teaching issues, request help and share useful websites in the Primary Resources forums.

If you find Primary Resources useful then please visit this page to learn how you can support the site.

If you have any more questions about the site then check out the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page.

Best wishes,
