Apply creativity, innovation and analytical skills to tackle complexity with clear thinking. Computer science enables you to find organisation in a disorganised world, by applying order to tough real-world challenges. You will explore logic, algorithmic thinking, abstraction of thought and how to make a problem ‘computable’ in this engaging qualification – and develop your coding skills too! In Sixth Form you will have access to two dedicated IT suites, equipped with all the software you need. You will also have your own digital device, with full access to a range of carefully curated online resources selected to support your studies. As you build your problem-solving ability, you will combine structure, clarity and creativity to develop a vital, highly-transferrable skill-set, that employers are actively seeking. Throughout your studies, you will have regular access to bespoke support and constructive feedback from teachers. Our enriched learning opportunities can include: Competitions Workshops
