Computer Science is a practical subject where students can apply the academic principles learned in the classroom to real-world systems. It is an intensely creative subject that combines invention and excitement and allows students to look at the natural world through a prism. This qualification aims to enable students to develop an understanding of, and the ability to apply, fundamental principles and concepts to analyse problems in computational terms through practical experience of solving such problems to include programming. Topics studied include the comparison and complexity of algorithms, data representation, computer architecture, digital communication and networking, databases and the individual (moral), social (ethical), legal and cultural opportunities and risks of digital technology.
To achieve at least six GCSE passes at Grade 6 or above. For some subjects where nationally, the GCSE score is above average (such as Maths), Grade 7 is required.
