Free GCSE Computer Science guide
Follow the Python workshop from data types and variables into selection, loops, lists and functions. Each guide combines captioned clips, clear code examples and practice with indicative answers.
Content owner: Michael Print · Written for GCSE learners · Checked against official specifications
Start with data types and variables: how values are represented and how a program stores and changes them. Then learn selection and iteration, which control which instructions run and how often.
Finally, use lists to store related values and functions to organise reusable instructions. These guides build on the examples explained in the workshop.
