Bond's Papers, based upon her own considerable teaching
experience. During this time they have been used by
thousands of pupils in school and at home to practise,
to learn and to prepare for tests and exams. They have
now been updated to meet the needs of another generation
of learners for well-structured, carefully-graded practice
materials.
What
do they cover?
The papers cover three subject areas for pupils aged from
7-11:

working with their parents.

up-to-date with changes in the Curriculum - and to modernise

with the National Curriculum, and Reasoning has been
updated to reflect the changing style of modern reasoning
exams. At the same time the key qualities of careful
structure and grading, varied practice and ease of use
have been retained. If you are a long term user of Bond's
