Full suite of resources

across KS3 - KS5

at Cambridge university press we are driven by a simple goal; to create resources for teachers and students to ignite a curiosity and love for learning. using the best authors and inspirational contributors, university expertise and external industry links, our aim is to innovate, inspire and raise education to a new standard.

england’s education system is currently going through a significant

period of change. GCSes and A Levels are being reformed, and

from September 2015 new Computer Science A Level qualifications

will be taught in schools, followed by new GCSe Computer Science

qualifications in 2016.

Significant changes to assessment and content including an increased

emphasis on computational thinking and programming skills will require

a different approach to teaching, and teachers will require ongoing

support, guidance and answers to questions and concerns.

At Cambridge university press we are committed to supporting teachers

and progressing students during this transitional phase of education.

Inside this catalogue you will find our brand new comprehensive suite of

‘born digital’ Computer Science resources specifically tailored to the new

oCr and WJeC/eduqas A/AS Level specifications, as well as our GCSe

Computing resources and Key Stage 3 Coding Club titles. our resources

are designed to engage and motivate learners of all abilities, support

navigation of the new assessment objectives and exams, and prepare

students for the challenges of the new specifications.

Black Flag: A Coding Club Mission

Written to create coding interest, and build on knowledge and understanding of coding skills for Key Stage 3 students, Black Flag is no ordinary novel. It allows readers to play along with the story by completing a number of coding challenges via the Free companion website (www.cambridge.org/codingclub-blackflag).

using this unique combination of storytelling and coding, Black Flag encourages avid readers to become coders, and engages avid coders in literature.

• the puzzles in the book only require basic knowledge of programming.

• Completing python Basics or looking at background information provided online will provide this knowledge.

• Working through the puzzles will consolidate coding skills.

• Story can be read as a standalone novel if this is preferred. puzzles fit in alongside.

• Written by an experienced young adult fiction author.
