Pupils will delve deeper into the internal structure of a computer, based on the Von Neumann diagram, and consider how the computer’s processor operates and how data is transferred around the computer.
Pupils will further develop the Web Design & Development skills by looking at how to use internal style sheets to give a consistent look to a website.
