Programming (in Python or similar), Data Structures, Algorithms, Theory of Computation, Data Representation, Computer Systems and Architecture, Consequences of using computers, Communication and Networking, Databases, Big Data, Functional Programming, Systematic Problem Solving, Practical Projects. This A Level replaces the ICT A Level previously offered at Boston Grammar School.
9-4 grades (or equivalent) in at least five GCSE subjects (please note that double awards, BTECs etc. are still counted by subject). A minimum of grade 4 (or equivalent) in both GCSE English and Mathematics. Grade ‘6’ in GCSE Mathematics Grade ‘6’ in GCSE Computing (or ICT) if taken.
During Year 12, students will cover all content for the AQA AS in Computer Science (7516) course. Assessments will include 2 main exams: • Paper 1 (Exam prep) This paper tests a student’s ability to program, as well as their theoretical knowledge of computer science. • Paper 2 (Exam prep) This paper tests a student’s theoretical knowledge of computer science. Students will be entered for the full A Level award at the end of Year 13 (2 exams of 150 minutes each, one of which is on-screen and the other paper-based, and a programming project for 20% of the A level mark).
