Espresso aims to stimulate children´s learning through providing a rich cross-curricular resource to help teachers plan and create exciting lessons that meet National Curriculum objectives and cover QCA Schemes of Work.

New resources are automatically added every week to ensure content is always topical. In addition there is also a huge archive of print based resources. Espresso is a self-contained site - there´s no links to the World Wide Web which means safe surfing is guaranteed.
