Computer science is the study of computation, information and automation spanning both the theoretical and applied. Through exposure to computer architectures, networking, data representation, cyber security and the impacts of technologies our students develop a deep level of understanding on how the digital world that surrounds them each day works. On the applied side of their study through theories of computation, abstract data structures, the effective use of different programming paradigms and computational thinking methods our students will not only be able to write prescribed programs but be able to solve problems equipping them for any future discipline.
Entry to THS Sixth Form is subject to five or more GCSEs being achieved at grade 5 or above, including grade 6s in those subjects chosen for A-level. For alternative qualifications, decisions regarding offers of places will be taken on an individual basis.
