In the Lower Sixth a large emphasis is placed on developing your computational thinking and programming skills using Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Assembly Language and SQL. You will be encouraged to solve problems ranging in difficulty from simple input and output to complex simulations and algorithms. In the Upper Sixth you dedicate your time to project work whilst building on practical skills in the programming language of your choice. The theoretical elements of the course are studied in greater depth and topics including Artificial Intelligence, environmental effects, Object Orientated Programming, RISC and CISC architecture, memory management and interrupts are added to the topics from the Lower Sixth.
The general requirement for a place in the Sixth Form is: • A minimum of six passes at GCSE (5-9) • In addition, each department has a particular entry requirement of either a 6 or 7 for subjects to be studied at A Level. Students studying subjects such as Psychology and Business Studies which have not been studied previously should show proficiency in similar subjects.
