Build digital confidence, problem-solving skills, and the foundations of future-ready learning.
Walnut helps students develop essential computing and ICT skills through step-by-step guidance, adaptive questioning, and clear explanations that support understanding — not shortcuts.
Whether your child is learning basic digital literacy at Key Stage 2, practising computing concepts at KS3, or building towards GCSE Computer Science, Walnut turns technology learning into something calm, structured, and accessible.
🖥️ How Walnut supports Computing & ICT learning
Walnut acts as a digital learning companion — guiding students as they explore computing concepts, practise problem-solving, and learn to use technology confidently and safely.
Learners can use it to:
- break down computing concepts
- practise algorithms and logical reasoning
- understand key digital tools and systems
- revise terminology clearly
- improve computer literacy step by step
- explore real examples of computing in everyday life
Walnut provides support without giving answers, helping students learn to think logically and independently.
📘 Key Stage 3 — Building digital understanding
Focus areas:
- Algorithms and computational thinking
- Basic programming concepts
- Hardware and software
- Networks, the internet, and data
- Digital literacy and safe online behaviour
Walnut helps KS3 learners:
- break down problems into clear steps
- understand core computing vocabulary
- practise structured reasoning
- explore how digital systems work
- build confidence using technology responsibly
From simple algorithms to understanding networks, Walnut grows students’ digital confidence one concept at a time.
🎓 Key Stage 4 (GCSE) — Strengthening computational thinking
Focus areas aligned with GCSE Computer Science frameworks (AQA/Edexcel/OCR):
- Algorithms and flowcharts
- Programming fundamentals (variables, loops, conditionals, functions)
- Computational logic and Boolean operators
- Data representation (binary, images, sound)
- Computer systems and architecture
- Networks, security, and ethical considerations
Walnut supports GCSE learners by:
- breaking down complex programming into manageable steps
- guiding revision with clear explanations
- helping students practise exam-style reasoning
- modelling structured approaches to problem-solving
- giving instant feedback on logic and understanding
Using an I do → we do → you do approach, Walnut builds strong computational thinking habits that carry into exams — and beyond.
🧠 What makes Walnut different
- Step-by-step explanations: Helps learners understand why things work.
- Adaptive guidance: Support increases or decreases based on confidence.
- Instant feedback: Highlights misunderstandings clearly and calmly.
- Future-ready skills: Builds logic, sequencing, and digital awareness.
- Parent visibility: Simple summaries help parents track digital progress.
Help your child become a confident, capable digital thinker.
Walnut Learning Assistant makes Computing and ICT learning structured, supportive, and empowering for every learner.
