“It is so refreshing to open up free resources and find such a comprehensive list of topics with appropriate documentation attached. This resource will undoubtedly be of assistance to all teachers in terms of increasing the opportunities to use effective pre prepared resources with ease. It will add flexibility and creativity to the curriculum as well as generating ideas of how teachers can update their own existing resources in the same way to enthuse and motivate pupils.”Glasgow

General Feedback on VCTs

“This is a great wee resource site, short and to the point as it is easy to see what the topics are and whether they are likely to be primary/secondary appropriate.“Will certainly pass on this site and put it on our Enterprise site as a link to resources.” Edinburgh

General Feedback on VCTs

“Many thanks for letting me see some of the great work going on around the country.

“This kind of resource base should have been available years ago.

Once I looked at the 'VCT-what is it?', I managed to grasp what was attempting to be done.

“We need all teachers to be as creative as possible with the many resources available to us.

“The future is creativity.”Glasgow

“Some of the lessons are so detailed that you could use them with the minimum amount of preparation!“What a great support.”Unknown
