We recommend Britannica School replaces general internet searches within your school. Through daily use and interaction, students will be better equipped to research independently and become more knowledgable about the subjects they are studying.

Most Helpful Reviews

Marty The Robot V2

Tom, Teacher: It is expandable and almost limitless in its application. It’s accessible at all levels through the primary school.
Louise Thompson, Principal Teacher: It was fantastic.
Mr N Gray, Computing Coordinator: It is an excellent resource which is very motivating and provides lots of opportunities to further children's understanding in computing. I only gave it an 8 because we didn't get to try all the extra add on bits which provide more functionality and provide more opportunities - I wonder if it has longevity past the initial excitement without these. Also to really maximize its use, it needs to be incorporated into the lessons we already deliver as part of computing and it isn't a straight forward fit.

June Yeeles, School Librarian: Image quantity could be improved
Montserrat Palau, Librarian: It is an excellent resource, easy to use, connected anywhere, anytime. For our IB school, it is very complete in multilingual content, so it introduces students to the concept of multiple literacies, enriching their academic journey and multilingualism. In addition, it is very important to our school to promote academic honesty and integrity, so Britannica offers the citation of any information.
Matt, Primary Pastoral Lead / Year 1 teacher: a great resource in one place
