Dear Parent/Carer
Key Stage 3 Computer Science Curriculum
There will be a change in the curriculum for our KS3 students in May 2021. KS3 students currently don't have access to a computer room or laptops due to covid restrictions. The remaining units on the KS3 curriculum are Small Basic Programming and Python Programming so we will be unable to deliver this content this year.
Instead, we will offer additional maths catch-up sessions to support students and help fill in the gaps in their knowledge. This will support the maths curriculum at KS3.
Below are some useful resources your child may want to use for some Computer Science work from home:
- Programming - KS3 Computer Science - BBC Bitesize
- Help Your Kids with Computer Science (Key Stages 1-5)
- Projects | Raspberry Pi Projects
- Learn (hourofcode.com)
- Students - UK Bebras
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards
Sameera Iqbal
Assistant Faculty Leader Maths & Computer Science
