You will need to download the Open Dyslexia font for the older resources, newer (post 2022 resources) are all on a yellow background and with a comic sans font (as advised by the BDA). I am Head of Faculty at a high performing secondary school set in a challenging location, Specialist in Computer Science and Business. P8 scores in the first year using these resources jumped by over 1 whole grade (from -1.17 to +0.51). All revisions lessons have multiple past paper style exam questions.

Set of binary/denary/hexadecimal lessons to be taught either at KS3 or for GCSE Computer Science.
No worksheets needed for this lesson just books and whiteboards.
5 lessons on the systems architecture. no worksheets or computers needed, just books.
lessons on registers, embedded systems, control systems, ALU and CU, Cache memory.
Set of algorithm lessons (objectives, tasks, PASA etc) for year 10/11, perfect for teaching for paper 2.
Real life context really helping students understand and apply difficult concepts (i.e. BMI and weight training algorithms).
62 x 1 hour lessons that cover the entire course! Including some great lessons on tricky topics such as Networks, Logic Gates, Binary/Hex and writing code.
Entire set of lessons planned on PowerPoint for both paper 1 and paper 2 of GCSE OCR Computer Science (will benefit other exam boards as well). This is planned for the new spec J277 released for this coming year.
Each unit has in-depth lessons planned, in font OpenDyslexic, on SEND friendly background, and with clear Bell Works / Objectives & Outcomes / content tasks to learn / exam questions to practice.
There are no logos on any of the PPTs and there are well over 2000 slides of information here.
I planned these during 2018-19 and progress in the subject at my new school went from -0.05 to +0.41 in a year! Predictions for this year were record breaking again at ~+0.8! The attainment was also the highest the school had ever had, and we had a very large mixed ability cohort in both years.
These lessons able you to read over them for 5 minutes then off you go teaching, with only your pointer needed.
Example answers to the questions are given to aid students with effective modelling - showing exactly where the marks are gained.
For the more challenging content recap sessions are in-built for the following lesson.
Note: 1.6 only has 1 lesson on laws - the rest of the lessons on ethics etc are covered in class by a series of videos (not able to include these) and discussions - I have found this more useful when revising the topic in year 11 and students have done similar topics in other subjects (RS etc).
The content is as follows:
- 1.1 - 4 lesson PPTs
- 1.2 - 13 lesson PPTs
- 1.3 - 13 lesson PPTs
- 1.4 - 3 lesson PPTs
- 1.5 - 3 lesson PPTs
- 1.6 - 1 lesson PPT
- 2.1 - 9 lesson PPTs
- 2.2 - 8 lesson PPTs
- 2.3 - 3 lesson PPTs
- 2.4 - 3 lesson PPTs
- 2.5 - 2 lesson PPTs
All are very clearly labelled and numbered to keep them in order.
You will not be disappointed!
But you will save a huge amount of time!!!
