Textbooks are becoming a less common sight in lessons as it is cheaper to either use printouts or a simple display on the whiteboard. Subjects that do still use them frequently are:

Modern Foreign Languages

Logo is the German textbook that will accompany you through your german lessons until you drop it either at GSCE or A level. It is usally full of rude drawings unlike metro which could have two answers - Year 8 and 9 have more respet for french then German or the French teachers are way more scary than the german ones. Although published farely recently it still has many outdated images.It will usally form the bulk of the curriculum with tests question and new words coming from it.

French-Metro

The least helpful of all the textbooks it contains very little infomation on the right answers to questions and the dictionary at the rear is questionable. Instead it focuses on making students ask there teachers what things mean (although this may sound basic it is actualy a very scary proposition if you have Miss Wilkes).

Spanish-Listos

The least used textbook is rarely dusted off by the small number of spanish teachers and seems to be much more 80s style then the other textbooks with retro images and faded blue background.

Other Subjects

History

Several varying on what you are studying but normally the aging Understanding History series.


Maths

  • Key Stage 3 - Framework maths by Oxford
  • Key Stage 4 - Maths Bible

ICT

Several depending on the year although year 9 use Ict for GCSE (fairly obvious)

Science

A combination of Hodder and Londsdale books in KS3
