Good evening everyone! We hope you had a fantastic half-term break and that you're feeling refreshed and ready for the new half-term ahead.

We've got some more EXCITING updates to share with you so read on to find out the latest enhancements we're making to your DU subscription...

To support you with navigating our site, we've launched NEW 'Small Steps Guides' for Maths, Grammar and Science, giving you an overview of all the packs we offer. It also shows the full range of resources in each subject area to ensure you are getting the most out of your DU subscription! 

When it comes to planning, you can get to what you need and be downloading in no time. These PDFs can also be easily stored locally on your devices so they're handy for the next time you need them. Bookmark or download our new website's page here.

We're thrilled to share that following the completion of our main science scheme, we have been working behind the scenes to add EVEN MORE to our range of science resources.

We have thoughtfully selected a fantastic, diverse range of scientists for every single unit in each year group and created teaching slides and activities focused on each of them. These informative, engaging steps will deepen your pupils' understanding of what it means to be a scientist and the many different forms this title can take.

These wonderful steps will be published and made available to subscribers as soon as our fantastic art team has finished creating the stunning artwork to go alongside them!

If you'd like to see an example of what they will look like, we have one pack online already! Take a peek at our Charles Darwin step in the Year 6: Evolution and Inheritance unit here. 

Starting from next week, you'll notice some BIG changes being made to our reading comprehensions. Following subscriber requests, we have been working behind the scenes to convert our materials to a non-cursive script and also producing reading teaching slides for every text we provide.

As you can imagine with the huge range we have available, this has been a long and time-consuming process and we greatly appreciate your patience while we have been working on this. 

During the process, we have also proofread and edited these materials to ensure that the wording of the questions and expectations are consistent across the year groups offered.

We will be starting to upload our new Year 6 content and working our way down to the lower years as time progresses with the hope that everything will be completed by Christmas!

Our PAY MONTHLY subscription option is now LIVE on our website! To sign up for this option, a £10 yearly license fee will have to be paid in month 1 of the year, along with the monthly subscription cost of £5.50 per month. Pay monthly users will be able to upgrade their subscription to a full year of DU by paying a £45 upfront fee, or cancel at any time. We hope this makes DU more affordable for those who are unable to pay the full year's fees in one go.

No matter how big or small your query is, you can reach the help of a DU staff member by emailing us using [email protected] or by contacting us via our social media streams. 

Enjoy the rest of the week ahead and take care!
