What is PG Online / ClearRevise?
PG Online have developed "a new generation of teaching resources". Providing a consistency of quality across a department and taking the unnecessary duplication out of lesson planning, they have multi-award-winning editable lesson plans for Business, Computer Science, IT, Science, Maths and Design & Technology. These are designed for all examining boards at KS3-5. Each topic comprises a complete PowerPoint presentation around which to structure the lesson, a worksheet and examination-style homework, each with answers, and final assessment. A teaching guide brings the whole lesson together with extensive notes to support new and non-specialist teachers as well as ideas to inspire seasoned subject experts.
In 2020, a new series of ClearRevise revision guides was launched, covering all major subjects at GCSE. This series has won major education awards since its inception and now has the world's first content-embedded AI exam tutor to support students using the content in the books.

I think the resources are good, but not perfect. The revision guides are great and I already recommend them. The powerpoints are good - but in some cases there is too much info and can be quite dry...I would be careful about who I recommended these to. They are a great starting point but I wouldn't use them without editing.
