Complete KS3 SoW for Computer Science

This SoW has been developed to fit in with the current National Curriculum for Computer Science, as well as preparing students to study Computer Science at GCSE and beyond. It is designed to be taught in 1 hour of lessons a week, throughout years 7-9, but many topics can be readily adapted and indeed, should be!

Update Sept 2021: Google have recently applied a security update, which means the previously public links no longer work. I have updated them in this document, but if you are using an older version of the PDF, these may no longer work. Please can you use the new links, and let me know if you have any issues accessing the resources.

Please note: As I am no longer teaching, this resource is not being updated or maintained, and some links may no longer be available. If anyone would like to take on the maintenance and update of these, please do let me know, as I just don’t have the time otherwise.

Some units of work included in this have been tested, and developed with students, however, most remain untested, and may need adapting when in front of a class. This SoW has been designed to provide a structured course, which should be developed further within your department.

An outline of the whole 3 years can be found here.

The purpose of this document is to walk through the structure of the course for the 3 years, and provide links to the appropriate documents where available. An online version can be found here.
