Year 10 have almost completed the theory for paper 1, Principles of Computer Science. This consists of systems architecture and software, looking at data representation including binary, hexadecimal and sound. They have also been learning about networks and how they work. This includes the internet and the security issues. The final learning will be about ethical and environmental issues surrounding Computer Science including legislation. They have also started revisiting Python programming language from Key Stage 3. You have all worked extremely hard this year and I look forward to next year when the main focus will be paper 2 and the practical elements of the course. Interventions will also begin.
