A Level Computer Science students are exposed to a wealth of experience and resources enabling them to develop into digitally aware, independent learners, who are fully prepared for higher education study. The Computer Science department aims to teach innovative and exciting lessons to effectively support students through the Computer Science based syllabus. The course builds upon core skills in Mathematics, Science and English, along with traditional and contemporary principles that form the basis of Computer Science. Learners are encouraged to develop: • A knowledge and ability to apply the fundamental principles and concepts of Computer Science, including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation. • The ability to investigate problems in computational terms through practical experience of solving such problems, including developing programs to do so. • The capacity to think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. • The capacity to see relationships between different aspects of Computer Science, society and the wider world.
Offers of places at 16+ are conditional on applicants achieving our required grades at GCSE, IB MYP or the equivalent foreign examinations. We ask for three 7 grades (or grade A) and above and another three 6 grades (or grade B) and above at GCSE or for IB MYP we require three 6 grades and three 5 grades. These should include English and mathematics and, where applicable, the subjects chosen for IB Higher Level or A-Level. We allocate places on academic merit, considered alongside the potential to contribute to our co-curricular programme. We recommend at least a Grade 6 at I/GCSE in any subject taken at IB Higher Level or A-level; students will not normally be allowed to pursue a subject in which they have attained less than a Grade 5.
