About Us

User Friendly Resources (UFR) is a leading publisher of supplementary curriculum and teacher support materials. In operation for over 25 years and with over 700 active titles UFR has an established reputation for developing innovative, practical, creative and engaging materials. We know about curriculum, teaching, learning and learners first-hand because our books are written by teachers for teachers.

UFR started like many great little companies, with a great little idea and a kitchen table. Over 25 years ago a couple of science teachers were developing resources for their own classes, then photocopying them off. Come to think of it, banda machines might have been involved back then! Anyway, other teachers liked the look of the materials – innovative, practical, creative, engaging – and wondered how they could get hold of them. User Friendly Resources was born, at a kitchen table to start with – but those days are long gone. While our Maths and Science materials are still hugely popular, our supplementary materials for learners range across the curriculum and provide support for teachers in many professional learning areas.

UFR was one of the first educational publishing companies of its kind. Its long history and enviable reputation across education communities for quality and depth of educational knowledge make it unique in this regard. But we have also moved with the times - more and more teachers are purchasing our cheaper PDF e-books to use on smartboards, iPads, laptops and with data shows.

We have over 700 active titles (and growing) and a stable of over 200 teacher-authors, so let us know if you would like to become one by contacting us on: info@userfriendlyresources.com
