The OCR Computer Science A Level qualification allows students to understand core academic principles of computer science. Academic principles learned in the classroom are transferred into creating real world systems in an exciting and engaging manner. Our A Level will develop students’ technical understanding and ability to analyse and solve problems using computational thinking.
All students need a minimum of five GCSE passes (any subject) at grade 4 or better to study in Sixth Form. If students achieve an average point score of 8 or higher across all of their GCSEs they can study 4 A Levels or equivalent subjects. Must be actively performing at club level in an individual and/or a team sport.
