Teaching more than one year? The KS3 Bundle covers Years 7, 8 and 9 for £749 a year, or £75 a month. The KS3 and KS4 Bundle covers every year from Year 7 to GCSE for £995 a year, or £100 a month.
Why FCA
✓ A coherent curriculum. Year 7 builds into Year 8, Year 9 and GCSE as one progression, not a set of separate downloads.
✓ Editable resources. Every resource is supplied in Word or PowerPoint, so a department can adapt it to its students and timetable.
✓ Practical work with a purpose. Every module ends in a practical connected to the knowledge students have just learned.
✓ Assessment built in. Retrieval, exit tickets and a Knowledge Organiser are part of every module.
✓ Support for every learner. SEN, differentiation and challenge resources are included from day one.
A suggested plan for the year: one lesson a week across about 35 teaching weeks, which a department can adjust to its own timetable.
A lesson plan and an editable slide deck for every lesson, a student worksheet for every theory lesson, and a Recipe Card and Student Evaluation Sheet for every practical.
From Fresh Fruit Salad to Stir-Fried Vegetables with Tofu, each practical applies the knowledge students have just learned.
Exit tickets, a Knowledge Organiser and low-stakes quiz for every module, and an Assessment & Progress tracking grid in the Teacher Toolkit.
The SEN Support Guide, Differentiation Guide, Challenge & Stretch Bank, Kagan Activity Bank, Home Learning Pack and Early Finisher Menu from day one.
