This product is of exceptional quality. I cannot praise this resource highly enough. Any school that uses Schools Fantasy League will find that students will take an interest in aspects of the Curriculum that they have not been interested in before. This is a very, very powerful product, with incredible potential. Running a football league may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I would urge all teachers to look at the benefits and rewards that come with the use of this product, and give it a try. It is a product that definitely lives up to the hype. In short you'll be 'over the moon' if you use this package and 'sick as a parrot' to miss out.

The website was used with a whole class of above-average ability Year 7 pupils. The objectives of the game were explained to the pupils in a Mathematics lesson. The players were then selected in the same lesson and the students were encouraged to spend as much money as possible on their teams. To monitor the subsequent progress of their selected teams, pupils have been allowed to access the site at lunchtimes and in occasional ICT lessons. The website was used within Mathematics lessons and was found to link directly to a limited number of calculation objectives from the Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3 Numeracy Strategies. The program also gave practice in accessing and navigating password-protected websites.
