Everything computer science teachers need in one place

A deep dive into the hidden gems of the Craig’n’Dave Resource Centre

If you know Craig’n’Dave, chances are it’s because of our videos — they’re the most popular thing we make. But what many teachers don’t realise is that behind those videos sits something even more powerful: a complete, fully editable resource ecosystem designed to help you teach computer science with confidence.

In the latest episode of At the Chalk Face, Craig and Dave open the vault to explore one of their core products — the Craig’n’Dave Resource Centre. Whether you’re brand new to CnD or you’ve been using their materials for years, this behind-the-scenes look reveals just how much sits within this 4,000-strong library.

What exactly is the Resource Centre?

The Resource Centre is a growing collection of over 4,000 editable resources covering GCSE, A-level and Cambridge IGCSE computer science. It includes:

  • Fully editable schemes of learning
  • Complete sets of student workbooks
  • Presentation slide decks (the same ones used in C&D videos!)
  • Exemplar answers and A4-formatted knowledge organisers
  • End-of-topic tests
  • Delivery calendars for multiple timetables
  • Free sample units for every course

Every resource has been designed and refined by real teachers with over 20 years’ experience in the classroom. They were created to solve the same problems computer science teachers face every day — from student engagement to lesson sequencing to time-saving.

More than lessons: The hidden treasures

Beyond the main course materials, there are features many teachers don’t know exist:

  • The Essential Algorithms & Data Structures Book — a complete, specification-aligned guide with code in three languages.
  • Telium — a brilliant end-of-Year-10 project that ties together everything students have learned.
  • Logic gate symbol packs, exam technique guides and terminology lists.
  • “Little extras” packs full of those small but essential items teachers always need.

And yes — everything is fully editable, so you can adapt it to your school’s needs.

Why teachers love it

Even if you already have schemes, resources or established lessons, the Resource Centre is perfect for refreshing your approach, boosting confidence, finding inspiration, or improving student outcomes with tried-and-tested materials.
