About Course

Year 11 Coding focuses on mastery of programming fundamentals, structured problem-solving, and confident exam performance. Students move beyond syntax to writing clear, efficient, and well-tested programs, while learning how to explain, trace, and debug code under exam conditions.
Course Objectives
By the end of Year 11, students will be able to:
Design algorithms to solve real problems
Write structured programs using a text-based language (Python)
Use selection, iteration, and data structures effectively
Test, debug, and improve programs
Explain program logic clearly in exams
