In this 90 second read, we share a useful list of free internet resources which might prove VERY useful as parents and carers in Neath start homeschooling.
Out of all this uncertainty and anxiety has come plenty of positives.
The news yesterday that schools in the U.K. were to shut for the foreseeable future was met with a wave of companies and organisations offering up learning resources for free.
For every instance of selfishness, there have been plenty more stories of community spirit and kindness.
Here's a list of some websites people have been generously sharing which will keep the younger members of our community in AREA entertained, interested and motivated. Useful for adults too.

Especially useful for maths and computing for all ages but other subjects at Secondary level. Note this uses the U.S. grade system, but it's mostly common material.
