I have been teaching Business, Computing and ICT KS3-5 for over 12 years now. I have been a Head of Department, Head of Year and an A-Level examiner but the thing I love most about my job is seeing my plans and resources bringing a subject to life and enabling my students to make the best possible progress. I hope you and your students enjoy using my resources. I would be happy to receive feedback on resources you would like to see in the future.
