Have you tried the Computing At School forums, Marie? (I assume you're 
UK-based from your address and the fact that you're teaching Python in 
Years 11-13). There are quite a few resources there already, but you can 
always start a thread in, eg, the Secondary Education forum.

Here are a couple of links, but you'll need to have registered with CaS 
to view them.
