PROGRAMMING

Since the introduction of the GCSE Computer Science course in 2014, it has gained a great deal of popularity both in and out of school. In our classes students will be focusing on the programming aspect of it, and we will be programming in a language called Python. It will be an introductory course (no prior experience needed) lasting one term and students will learn the rudiments of the language, and how to write simple programs and algorithms to solve different tasks. At the end of the course there will be a programming project where students will need to put all the skills they have learned into practice to code a more elegant program.
