GCSE Computer Science explores computational thinking, problem-solving, and practical programming. Students develop an understanding of how computer systems work and how to design, write, and test programs.
Prerequisites
• Completion of Key Stage 3 Computing (or equivalent)
• Interest in problem-solving and logical thinking
Syllabus Outline
• Fundamentals of algorithms (flowcharts, pseudocode, searching, sorting)
• Programming: variables, data types, control structures, functions, arrays, file handling
• Data representation: binary, hex, text, images, sound, compression
• Computer systems: hardware, software, networks, cyber security
• Logic and Boolean algebra
• Ethical, legal, and environmental impacts of computing
• Programming project (design, code, test, evaluate)
