This computing (number systems) lesson introduces students to conversion techniques between denary, binary and ASCII characters, supports calculation for binary to denary values and investigates binary addition and subtraction. Slides 9-11 are the ANSWER SHEETS and are hidden from view - recommended that this is saved as a STAFF version, and a separate STUDENT version is made available without the answer section included. The presentation has practice examples throughout, and an INVESTIGATION segment to stretch students abilities - looking into different number systems and how they are used in the real-world. This is an excellent accompaniment to the BINARY TO DENARY CONVERSION ASSESSMENT available for purchase at http://tinyurl.com/hxxc38j

An introduction resource for British History focusing on the Kings and Queens of England since 1066 and British Prime Ministers.

Python Programming Home Learning Course Lesson 1 This course is suitable for home study, students unable to attend classes due to sickness or as learning material during school closures. This first lesson focuses on the core elements of Python Programming, and provides access to a free on-line Integrated Development Environment (IDE) where students can practice coding and complete lesson tasks. Students are requested to review each section of the Lesson Workbook, and to create an Evidence Document of their own where they can record their progress using print-screen evidence and annotations. This is an ideal lesson pack for remote study, allowing the student to work at their own pace, producing evidence of their programming skills as they progress through the course that can then be forwarded via email to the subject teacher for review, assessment and feedback.

Python Programming Home Learning Course Lesson 2 This course is suitable for home study, students unable to attend classes due to sickness or as learning material during school closures. This second lesson begins with a refresher task to review all the skills and programming techniques practiced during Lesson 1. Students are then introduced to more interactive elements of Python Programming including Nested Loops, Random Values, Switch Case Statements, Casting to a String, String Manipulation and how to Collect Data from a User. The lesson is completed with the first Python Programming Challenge. Here students will be required to use the programming skills from the last two lessons to build a working game. Students are requested to review each section of the Lesson Workbook, and to create an Evidence Document of their own where they can record their progress using print-screen evidence and annotations. This is an ideal lesson pack for remote study, allowing the student to work at their own pace, producing evidence of their programming skills as they progress through the course that can then be forwarded via email to the subject teacher for review, assessment and feedback.

Parents Evening - Student Grade Visualisation This spreadsheet has two worksheets - Data and Display. The Data worksheet is where you can add students first and last names - in adherence with GDPR these names are edited with a formula to display the first name and initial only - as well as the effort, behaviour and homework scores for each student. The scores are in the 1-4 format where 1 is the highest grade. In addition the students current and target grade are entered to allow the spreadsheet to calculate how much progress they have made towards their target. The Display spreadsheet has a drop-down box with all of the students names. Here you can select a student to view the data as well as a graphical display of their progress. This has been a valuable resource during parents evenings and for 1:1 discussions with students.

Sourcing potential strategies from the Education Endowment Foundation's Teaching and Learning Toolkit, the Pupil Premium Records Tracker encourages you to keep a record of instances where a strategy may be applied to support PP students and give reasons. All entries to the Pupil Premium Records Tracker are time and date stamped and sorted so only specific students records are viewed when they are selected. There is a print button built into the application which will automatically provide a print-preview of the worksheet. The bespoke data entry system (Update Records) allows you to select a Pupil Premium student, teacher, identify the current topic, detail current performance grades, select a suitable strategy (built-in to the system) and leave a detailed comment. Within the data entry section of the application you can enter the students name and if they are a Pupil Premium student. You can also enter the names of teachers - if used within a department you may include all relevant staff and if used school-wide include Heads of Department only (identifying specific teachers in the comments section).
