What is the program like at your school? Is it a one semester elective or a full track for students to pursue?

My friend @louisf was trying to get CS into the classroom but I think they've since de-prioritized the program.

Hey Jess thanks for the question. In my school, we teach it as part of the curriculum from age 11 to 13. Then they choose their GCSE subjects which they study for year further years with final exams when they are 16. Not all students like it but we used to have 25 in age group after age 13. Now it's doubled to 50! I'm England btw.
