The A-level course in Computer Science provides an opportunity to gain a deep understanding of the mathematical principles underpinning technology so prevalent in the modern world. It also allows students to develop their programming skills up to a level where they can transform many of their ideas into working applications for pleasure, or indeed, profit!
Our offers of places into Year 12 are conditional upon a candidate achieving a minimum of six 8s or 9s at GCSE, including Grades 8 or 9 in the subjects proposed for study at A Level.
Paper 1 (40% of A-level): On-screen exam testing Python programming skills, algorithm design and problem solving. Paper 2 (40% of A-level): Written exam testing theoretical knowledge of Computer Science and problem-solving skills. Non-examination assessment (formerly known as Coursework) (20% of A-level): A large-scale, fully documented programming project solving a practical problem of the pupil’s choice, which will be completed during the Upper Sixth year.
