Computing, Covered - GCSE Computer Science
For parents and carers
See what your child can use, how the trial works and how their work is protected.
What is included
A step-by-step course covering computer science theory, Python programming and both exam papers. Learners also have a Course Guide, revision sessions and practical challenges.
- The three-day trial begins after the account email is verified.
- No card is needed for the trial, and it does not turn into a paid plan.
- A parent or carer must create and pay for an account used by someone under 18.
Saved work and privacy
Lessons, revision attempts and code stay with the same account. If a learner returns after the trial, their saved progress is still there.
- Individual learners see their own work.
- School teachers see only students in classes they are authorised to teach.
- Website analytics never receives learner answers or code.
Support and safeguarding
Computing, Covered helps with GCSE study, but it is not a school safeguarding service or emergency contact.
- Programming tools are available after sign-in.
- The free public examples focus on reading and tracing code.
- Use the Contact page for account, payment, privacy or accessibility questions.
