Computer Science is a practical subject where students can apply academic principles to real-world systems. It is a very creative subject, combining invention and excitement, and that looks at the natural world through a digital prism. Computer Science values computational thinking, helping students to develop the skills to solve problems, design systems and understand the power and limits of human and machine intelligence. Throughout the course, students study computing principles which explore the characteristics of contemporary processors, software and software development, programming, exchanging data, data types, structures and algorithms, the internet, and legal and ethical issues.
Five GCSEs at grade 5 or above, including both English Language and Mathematics. The minimum subject grade which must be achieved at GCSE in order to continue to study that subject at A Level will be a grade 6. For some subjects, these minimum expectations are higher.
