Computer Science is a dynamic and rapidly growing area that has become an integral part of the world that we live in today and the subject can open doors to diverse career paths. Many problems in the sciences, engineering, health care, business and other areas are solved using computer science and it is becoming increasingly important. The A-Level builds upon the knowledge acquired at GCSE and practical programming forms a significant element of the course, both in the live programming exam and the project (NEA) where you develop a program to solve a problem or investigate a topic of your own choosing. Whilst learning to code and write algorithms you will hone your problem-solving, decomposition and logical reasoning skills, all transferable skills that are highly valued by employers. You will also gain a wide overview of the theoretical aspects of Computer Science which will inform and support your understanding of how technology is used in industry and education. We are supportive and well-equipped department that will encourage you to pursue extracurricular interests. These have ranged from programming and cyber security competitions to setting up 3D printers and associated servers. Our main classroom, equipped with high-specification gaming PC’s, is open and spacious with benches available for hardware projects. We also have an open office where you are encouraged to come and work during free lessons to gain additional support and guidance.
