We all use computers every day. In all likelihood, you have one in your pocket right now! There are limits to what a computer can do, but these are pushed every year by pupils like you. The course focuses on the skills pupils need to progress to higher education or thrive in the workplace. It is not just about programming, although that is a major component. The emphasis is also on computational thinking – a kind of reasoning used by both humans and machines. Thinking computationally is an important life skill and means using abstraction and decomposition.
The following are required for entry into the Sixth Form: • A Headmaster’s or Headmistress’ reference from the pupil’s current school • Attainment of a satisfactory standard at the Assessment Day and Scholarship Examinations or Exhibition assessments, where appropriate • Six (I)GCSE passes at Grade B (6) or above, with a minimum of Grade C (5) in English Language and Mathematics
