What is Computing at Cambridge Lower Secondary?

Computing boosters are single-topic Cambridge Lower Secondary practice packs covering Computational Thinking and Programming, Managing Data, Networks and Digital Communication, and Computer Systems — each with a cheat sheet, 20 leveled questions and full worked solutions.

Cambridge Lower Secondary Computing (syllabus code 0860) is structured into four curriculum strands — Computational Thinking and Programming, Managing Data, Networks and Digital Communication, and Computer Systems — and is taught across Stage 7, Stage 8 and Stage 9 to learners typically aged 11 to 14. Source: Cambridge Lower Secondary Computing (0860) Syllabus, Cambridge Assessment International Education

💻 Computational Thinking and Programming — algorithms, Python and pseudocode, software development, physical computing
🗄️ Managing Data — data types, spreadsheets, databases and data collection methods
🌐 Networks and Digital Communication — the internet, network types, data transmission and online safety
🖥️ Computer Systems — hardware, software, data representation (binary, denary, hexadecimal) and logic gates

How do I use a Computing booster?

Read the cheat sheet first. All the key facts and formulas for the topic, in 5 minutes.
Attempt all 20 questions. Work through Foundation to Standard to Stretch in order — each band builds on the last.
Check with the worked solutions. Read the error flags — they show the mistakes Cambridge examiners see most often.
Use the parent and tutor guide. Score bands and study tips tell you what to focus on next.

Common questions

Stage 7 is roughly Year 7 or Class 7, Stage 8 is Year 8 or Class 8, and Stage 9 is Year 9 or Class 9. If your child's school follows the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme, the stage will match their year group. If you are not sure, start with Stage 8 and see how your child gets on with one pack before buying more.
