Teachers and parents can schedule the activities as part of the school day. To support the Home Learning programme, students can attend live drop-in sessions, hosted by expert computing teachers from our computing hub network. These Q&A sessions are available daily, to help explain the key principles of the weekly featured topics, and identify misconceptions. The Home Learning programme and daily Q&A sessions can be found here: | | | | **Supporting teachers![](https://bishop-challoner-catholic-college.schudio.com/images/BCTSA/teach_comp_logo.jpeg)** Our computing CPD sessions have now gone online! As a computing hub, we are providing three courses, delivered through scheduled live, interactive online sessions led by an experienced practitioner. | | **Representing Algorithms Using Flowcharts and Pseudocode** An understanding of algorithms is vital for success in GCSE Computer Science. Students need to know how algorithms are designed to solve a problem, and how these designs are represented to other humans. Improve your knowledge of algorithms to the level appropriate for GCSE teaching. This course is for current or prospective teachers of GCSE Computer Science, with some understanding of Computer Science fundamentals.
