Hopscotch Educational Publishing Ltd

Hopscotch was established in 1997 by two Primary school teachers, Frances Mackay and Margot O'Keeffe. Frances had been a teacher for 20 years and Margot had worked as a commissioning editor for several educational publishers for many years. Having been teachers they understand the importance of using good quality teaching resources and the difficulty of trying to be an 'expert' in every area of the curriculum. This is why Hopscotch reosurces are written by experienced teachers who have trialled their ideas extensively in schools. A unique feature of many of Hopscotch resources is the provision of differentiated activities where the same activity is presented at three ability levels.
