KS3 Computing: Python Programming Guide with Online Edition, Python Files & Videos

About the KS3 Computing: Python Programming Guide with Online Edition, Python Files & Videos

If your child in Year 7, Year 8 or Year 9 (ages 11–14) is starting Python programming at KS3, the KS3 Computing: Python Programming Guide with Online Edition, Python Files & Videos offers everything they need to build genuine coding skills from scratch. This CGP revision guide combines clear, friendly explanations of essential Python concepts with over 200 downloadable practice files, step-by-step video walkthroughs of trickier challenges, and a free Online Edition readable on any PC, Mac or tablet—so your child can switch between the printed book and on-screen practice whenever it suits them. It's designed to match the English National Curriculum for KS3 Computer Science and provides an ideal head start for GCSE.

Each chapter introduces a new programming skill—variables, loops, selection, functions and turtle graphics—through fully worked examples that show exactly how the code behaves. Practice questions after every topic let your child test their understanding immediately, and coding challenges build confidence by applying skills to mini-projects. Answers are printed at the back of the book so your child can check their work independently, and video solutions guide them through the more demanding challenges step by step. The downloadable Python files give hands-on practice without needing to type everything from scratch, reducing frustration and letting your child focus on understanding logic rather than hunting for typos.

With this guide, your child gains the confidence to write real programs, experiment with code on screen, and tackle increasingly complex challenges without feeling lost. The free Online Edition unlocks access instantly via the CGP website as soon as you place your order, and the unique code inside the printed book activates full access permanently. The combination of book, videos and downloadable files means revision stays flexible, whether your child prefers reading at a desk, watching a walkthrough on a tablet, or coding along at the computer.

This Python programming guide suits any KS3 pupil starting to code, whether they're complete beginners or have dabbled with block-based languages before. CGP's straightforward style removes the jargon, the practical files keep learning active, and the video support ensures no one gets stuck on a tricky concept. It's a reliable, all-in-one resource that prepares your child for GCSE Computer Science while making Python approachable and genuinely enjoyable.
