Topics studied:- The characteristics of contemporary processors, input, output and storage devices; Software and software development; Exchanging data; Data types, data structures and algorithms, Legal moral cultural and ethical issues, Elements of computational thinking, Problem solving and programming, Algorithms to solve problems and standard algorithms. There will be a healthy combination between theoretical teaching and independent student research, programming and analysis, alongside group work, debates and presentations. Students will be encouraged to apply their learning outside of school to test their skills in a new environment, continuing to provide solutions.
Grade 6 in Maths and Grade 6 in GCSE Computing
Two papers at the end of the course, each of 2 hours and 30 minutes, on Computer Systems, and Algorithms and Processing. Non-Exam programming project assessment (NEA), where students choose a computing problem to work through. They will be assessed on their:- Analysis of the problem, Design of the solution, Development of the solution, and Evaluation.
