Help! Need to find GCSE Computing course or tutor

[Back2back]

My ds is in year 9 and wishes to do GCSE Computing. Unfortunately his school does not this course. I am at wits end looking for an external course provider or a tutor for him. Any information will be helpful. I live in Pinner but willing to travel a bit for the course. Thank you.

An online course which is supposed to fill the deficit of school provision.

Can I ask, Back2back, if your DS's school does computing at all? Mine's doesn't, and it's worrying me something awful.

Unfortunately my DS' s school does not do computing.
Would online course be equivalent to classroom experience?

Have you read what the website says? It's developed with OCR and although would n't end in a GCSE it is equivalent. It is free so if your DS is keen I woul certainly start off with it and then reassess in a year
