In their second year the students will learn knowledge and understanding of the theory by choosing, in conjunction with their teacher, a well-defined user-driven problem of an appropriate size which enables them to demonstrate their skills in Analysis, Design, more advanced computing theory to include: functions of operating systems and translators, computer architecture, advanced data structure and manipulation, features of high and low level programming languages and advanced database theory. They will then develop their Software Development, Testing, Implementation, Documentation and Evaluation, and their interrelation; and to give a completed overall system that solves the problem.
Entry to Year 12 is dependent on performance in the GCSE examinations. To follow a full programme of A Level AS and A2 study, good passes (grade 5 and above) are required in five subjects at GCSE, with a recommendation of at least a grade 6 in those subjects that students wish to study.
The A2 course consists of 2 units: one is externally assessed (80%) and one is internally assessed through a major project (20%).
