Computer Science is an extremely creative and practical subject that combines excitement and invention, allowing you to look at the world through a digital prism. You’ll be encouraged to develop an appreciation of the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science - including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation. You will also develop an ability to analyse, critically evaluate and make decisions – this is a practical subject that will enable you to apply your knowledge gained in the classroom to real-world systems. Learning takes place in our well-equipped computer suite, with lessons split between theory and practical. Practical lessons will enable you to build on theory in a creative way, and our trip to Bletchley Park is designed to develop creative-thinking, communication and reflective learning, through immersive experiences and practical intelligence challenges.
Pupils entering the sixth form are expected to have obtained ‘C’ grades in most core subjects and at least a grade B in their chosen A Level subjects. They will be expected to be able to cope with the demands of A Level courses in at least three subjects. Some A Level courses require higher GCSE grades, specific details on request from the Marketing and Admissions Team.
