  1. Designing and Debugging Complex ProgramsPupils learn to design multi-step algorithms combining sequence, selection and repetition, use variables to store and update data, and apply systematic debugging strategies to find and fix logical errors.
  2. Input, Output and User InteractionPupils discover how programs listen to users and devices through inputs, then respond with meaningful outputs. They explore events, variables and selection in block-based programming, learning how interactive software is designed, tested and refined for real users.
  3. Search, Evaluate and Create ResponsiblyPupils learn advanced search strategies, how to evaluate online sources for reliability, copyright and intellectual property rules, and how to plan credible digital content — all within a framework of responsible online behaviour.
  4. Your Digital Footprint and Online WellbeingPupils explore what a digital footprint is, how personal data builds up over time, how to protect privacy, how to respond to cyberbullying, and what it means to be a responsible digital citizen.
