Twinkl

Is nothing on Twinkl free anymore?

[Littlewhistle]

Not sure but I know they have "changed the goalposts" recently and people who thought they had paid for everything now find there is yet another tier of membership above.

Twinkl were getting a lot of backlash on FB for this.

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

Some of it is free. Very little though

[Balfe]

How else would they afford to translate everything into every language under the sun?

[Littlewhistle]

I like their resources but find it very difficult to locate stuff. I type in a very precise instruction and get goodness knows what in 101 languages

[SeamusMacDubh]

Ah okay, seems like a lot of the resources I used to use (TES, Twinkl etc) have changed almost beyond recognition

I wouldn't recommend using Twinkl knowing the way how awful they take advantage of their staff and how Twinkl cheats customers using fake Trustpilot reviews and quality standard icons. If you are an international school with a school subscription, make sure you don't overpay the VAT element as Twinkl tweaks their pricing and exchange rates so you pay more. One way of checking is switching your country to GB and compare the quote given to what UK school pays.

I hate the way my school is just Twinkl Twinkl everywhere! So many generic and vanilla pictures. Agree that it is hard to find free resources and also the person who designed their search facility needs more training! 😱 So frustrating to find the resource one day but you can't find it the next.

I don't mind paying because they have so much but I do think their search engine is terrible. 2d shape and 2d shapes give totally different results.

Yeah, the search facility isn’t great. I find I get better results using google.
We have a school subscription and it’s gone a huge way towards reducing our workload.

I know someone who works for Twinkl. She's very happy with her job and pay!

I'm called on to cover classes from YrR to Yr6 with very little notice in my school often with vague or no planning left, so Twinkl has always been incredibly useful. The extra tier appearing above mine when I thought I'd paid for full access was incredibly annoying. I'm not sure I need the tier above though.

I love twinkl but agree with the search engine. A nightmare when you're trying to sort things quickly!

[LittleEllie88]

There's a lot of bullying at this workplace, check out Glassdoor.
You are literally supporting office bullying if you buy a Twinkl subscription!

£10.50 an hour is the reason I've never applied for a Twinkl job. All the other resource producers pay approx £20 ph.
