Computer Science

"Computer Science is a recent addition to the school’s GCSE and A Level portfolio and is also being offered as a regular subject further down the school.

A Computer Science qualification is, above all, integral to one of the most crucial and rapidly-evolving aspects of modern life. The subject is a practical one in which pupils can apply to real-world problems the knowledge and skills they learn in the classroom. It is also excitingly creative, involving a high degree of invention, exploration and innovation.

Our computer scientists will learn to value computational thinking, helping pupils to develop the skills necessary to solve problems and to design systems that do so.

These skills will represent the best possible preparation for pupils who wish to study at a higher level or pursue a career in the Computer Science and IT industry. These qualification will also provide a good grounding for other subjects that require logical thinking, creative and analytical skills, particularly Mathematics."
