GCSE Computer Science : Syllabii
The Specifications: what you need to know
As we said in the introduction, there are four main exam boards covering England and Wales. This section aims to provide you some useful links straight to the GCSE Computer Science course details for each board (some of their websites can be like navigating minefields if you're not a teacher!). We will regularly check for updates and new information, and update/expand the links here as needed. Here are some useful "starter" links for each board:
