Computer Science is highly relevant to the modern and changing world of computing and technology. The skills that you will develop through studying Computer Science, such as problem solving and analytical thinking, are highly valued by universities and employers. There is a heavy focus on programming, and this will build on the skills that you have developed as a result of studying the subject at GCSE. The A-Level, as well as being highly practical, will also give you the opportunity to be intensely creative. The nature of the qualification means that you are able to tailor the programming project to areas of your own personal interest, which makes the whole process more engaging and ultimately rewarding. Kineton offers you the opportunity to be taught by teachers that you know and trust. Computer Science works very well with a wide range of A-Levels, including Mathematics, Languages and all of the Sciences. The development of computational thinking and problem solving skills, also means that the subject is relevant to a wide range of careers such as engineering or jobs within the financial industry.
GCSE Computer Science at Grade 5 or above (or experience of computer coding) and GCSE Mathematics at a minimum of Grade 6.
80% examination (two papers) and 20% coursework. The course is made up a number of units covered over the course of the Years 12 and 13. • Computing principles • Computer systems • Algorithms and problem solving • Programming project
