Excel series
The books in our home study range come highly recommended by teachers and are used in many schools. We believe that a complete education for your child is achieved through work at school as well as at home. Research confirms the belief that students who do more homework are more likely to succeed at school.
Our Excel series of books starts at Preschool and goes right through Primary School to the end of High School.
The series caters for the diverse educational needs of children as they progress through the different levels in their education. Your child may need more practice, extra homework, revision work or in-depth revision notes—and our range of over 300 books offers all this and much more!
