What you'll study in Middle School Computing

The Pearson Computing syllabus shown here covers 7 topics. Your exact specification is confirmed before enrolment. Teacher contact and lesson format depend on the learning journey you choose.

In Computing, learners:

  • become confident computational thinkers, who can abstract key information from a set of instructions, break down problems into smaller parts and recognise patterns within sequences of instruction.
  • think logically, and identify and resolve errors in increasingly complex computing scenarios.
  • see themselves as computer scientists, who are able to identify the increasing opportunities that exist for skills such as programming in a range of local and global industries.
  • understand the role that data plays in the lives of individuals, businesses and in the wider world.
  • develop the vocabulary that is regularly associated with computers and with computational thinking.
  • evaluate sequences of instructions and understand the value of working collaboratively.
  • understand how computers and other machines are interconnected and how they play a vital role in a range of industries.
