Arrays theory for GCSE Computer Science
Teaches students about arrays.
There is also a supporting (free for ever) article about arrays on Medium to support your teaching: https://studeappsblog.medium.com/programming-with-arrays-298d0e594353.
This resource is not based on any particular programming language, so is applicable for any particular language you choose.
It can feel tricky to teach this topic. These resources are there to help you, with the same support that is always avaliable for you when you purchase on of StudeApp’s resources.
Helps with the use of arrays (or equivalent) when solving problems, including both one and two dimensional

Brexit and Computer Science Legislation
Computing teachers now have a resource for both British values and for ethical, legal, cultural and environmental concerns, related to Brexit and also teaching the Computer Science legislation required by courses.
I would start students off with the pair work of News1 and News2 as a discussion task.
You can then run through the presentation, and then there is a discussion tasks.
Students take the worksheets (starting with Discussion in the file name) and then map the issues that Brexit might cause onto them. They can be provided with information about the various legislation that they need to study (Starting with FactSheet in the file name)
OCR's GCSE Computer Science specification (9-1) J276 requires students to discuss Computer Science technologies while considering:
