Computers and computing are transforming the way we work, rest and play. By studying Computer Science, students will become proficient programmers in Python. Computer Science encompasses learning about encryption, cyber security, network components, hardware and software development. Additionally, for the mathematically minded, the course covers logic gates, Boolean algebra and finite state machines. Some aspects of the course overlaps GCSE Computer Science, which is a benefit to any student who has already studied at GCSE. You have the opportunity to create a project on a topic of particular interest, for example, a graphical game, a quiz or an application that maintains sport scores.
