Welcome to the first of my programming self-paced units! Scroll down to open your lessons for the course.

Each course is run as a 5 week “half term” with topic videos, assignments, and practical work.

This Pre-GCSE / higher KS3 Computing course allows your child to follow a unit of study based around the latest British computing curriculum, informed by the National Centre for Computing Education. Students learn using a set of recorded lessons, practical activities, and written assignments.

Pre-GCSE units are aimed at learners aged 11 – 15 who have an interest in studying Computer Science or Games Design at a later date. Each class is designed & supported by a qualified Computer Science teacher & home educator (Holly Billinghurst) who specializes in distance learning for Computer Science.

Courses remain available for one year of study allowing you to take your time with study and returning to topics as you move through your home education journey.

As you complete each unit of the course, you’ll find assignments – these are completely optional, but if you choose to use them, they will be marked & returned to you with personalised feedback.
