This page contains links for the staff. They are not private and most are accessible to all web users. They may, however, be less relevant to children and parents and to include them on the 'Bookmarks' page would detract from its usefulness.
The
links
are
to
external
sites.
We
cannot
be
held
responsible
in
any
way
for
any

accessed
via
these

STAFF
PLEASE
NOTE:
There
are
324 links here. Whilst I have
checked out some of these sites others have
been gathered from lists and recommendations in periodicals. Please let me
know if:
You try a site and recommend it
You can add more detail to the review
You try a site and feel that it should be removed from the
list
You
find
a
link
which
doesn't
work
You find other sections in a site that should be noted under
different sections - this is quite possible as some links are not to HOME pages
You would like a link adding to the 'Bookmarks' page for
easier access by pupils
