Computer Science is a dynamic and everevolving field that lies at the heart of our digital age. It is the study of algorithms, data structures, programming languages, and the fundamental principles that govern the design and operation of computers and software systems. Computer scientists explore how to solve complex problems, automate tasks, and harness the power of computation to drive innovation across various industries.
To provide a solid foundation for A level study, we recommend that students achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject with which they wish to continue. In some subjects, a Grade 7 may be more suitable to facilitate positive outcomes at A level, and the Sixth Form team will be happy to provide tailored advice on this matter.
