A highly relevant, rigorous and creative subject, which develops an understanding and ability to apply the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science to real-world systems. You will develop the ability to analyse problems in computational terms through practical experience and writing programs. You will need to think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. In return, you will acquire the ability to see relationships between different aspects of computer science as well as applying mathematical skills in new ways.
External applications are warmly invited for Sixth Form (Year 12) entry. Our minimum entry requirements are at least 5 A*/A grades or grade 7 or above at GCSE, and it is expected that you will achieve an A* or grade 8/9 in the subjects you want to study at A Level. In addition, external candidates are required to achieve at least a grade A, or grade 7 or above, in English Language and Mathematics. Should an applicant wish to change their subject choices following tests, offer or acceptance of the offer, we reserve the right to re-test and/or re-interview.
Computer Systems (01) contains the majority of the content of the specification and is assessed in a written paper recalling knowledge and applying understanding. (Written paper, 2 hours 30 minutes, 40% of total A Level) Algorithms and programming (02) relates principally to the problem solving skills needed by students to apply the knowledge and understanding encountered in Paper 1. (Written paper, 2 hours 30 minutes, 40% of total A Level) Programming project (03) is a practical portfolio-based assessment with a task that is chosen by the student (or teacher) and is produced in an appropriate programming language of the student’s choice. (Non-exam assessment, 20% of total A Level)
