Starting IGCSE or GCSE Computer Science soon, but missed out on KS3 Computing? This fast-track course picks out the units from Years 7, 8 and 9 that matter most for (I)GCSE, so your child starts the course with the core knowledge and coding skills already in place.

What your child will learn

  • How the internet works (Year 7)
  • Computer systems: hardware and how its parts work together (Year 8)
  • Data representation: from clay tablets to binary (Year 8)
  • Introduction to Python programming (Year 8)
  • Python programming with sequences of data (Year 9)

There are 42 lessons in all. One a week in term time takes a school year, but many students go faster.
