Welcome To Classroom Resources


Welcome back after the most elongated Easter break schools have experienced. My wife who teaches at Henbury School in Bristol says that it was the most restful holiday she has ever had, so lets hope that goes for many other teachers as well!

Official figures now disclose that over 800,000 schoolchildren do not speak English as their first language putting great strain on teachers, particularly those who have to cover set texts as part of their English syllabus. At Classroom Resources we have responded to this by "rewriting" many of these set texts in new simplified versions making whole class teaching for these mixed language groups possible once more. More information about these resources can be found in our secondary EAL section.

In 2008 we are going to be emailing details of all our new resources to subject teachers. These can be sent to you directly rather than through your school office, so if you would like to receive this information as well as details of our special offers then simply send us your direct email details together with your subject specialism.

Almost all of our resources can now be downloaded instantly using the shopping cart, so you can have them for classroom use and for your school network straight away. If you are not sure that you want to purchase, why not have free sample pages that are also instantly downloadable. Don't forget that you can also email, post or telephone your order through for a 48 hour turnaround.

Special Classroom Resources Offer – A Must for All English Departments

We have a limited number of a special "must have" purchase for every English Dept. Buy any TWO other Classroom Resources titles and we will offer you the oppurtunity to purchase the complete BBC Shakespeare Collection on DVD for the very special price of £64.99 (£76.36 inc VAT) plus p&p, a fantastic saving of £135!!!!!

Your school can enjoy this 38 DVD disc set of unrivalled BBC adaptions by some of the most celebrated direcrors of our time and performed by many of Britain's most accomplished actors including Helen Mirren, Derek Jacobi, John Gielgud, Anthony Hopkins, Bob Hoskins, Ben Kingsley, Celia Johnson, Warren Mitchell, John Cleese, Felicity Kendall, John Thaw, Leonard Rossiter - and many more.

The real strengths of the BBC versions are how closely the films match the actual plays, unlike most Hollywood versions. Showing a BBC film – or relevant scenes for SATs – means that your students get support for the actual print texts they are studying rather than a re-invention of the play by a film director. Students will therefore write about the text with added understanding and appreciation.
