When you’re ill, out on CPD, or pulled into a meeting, the last thing you need is scrambling to set cover that pupils won’t take seriously.

This bundle gives you three ready-to-teach cover lessons that are easy for a non-specialist to run and genuinely useful for pupils. No laptops, no faff, no silent worksheet hour.

What’s included

You’ll get three complete cover lessons with a pupil worksheet and clear teacher instructions for running the lesson step by step.

KS3: The Great Data Detective (Year 7 to 9)
Pupils act as data detectives. They decide what counts as data, spot patterns in a mini dataset, and learn how graphs can be misleading.

GCSE: Cybersecurity Case File (Year 10 to 11)
Pupils identify common cyber threats and match them to prevention methods, explaining their choices using accurate cybersecurity vocabulary.

GCSE: AI Ethics and Decision Making (Year 10 to 11)
Pupils explore real ethical issues linked to computing and justify a viewpoint using clear reasoning and examples.
