Pupils gain immense satisfaction from seeing the success of their efforts and even if our first attempt is incorrect the computer tells us that there is a problem and asks us to correct the code – significantly less depressing than just seeing a red cross on a piece of work. From the short introduction in the Fourth Form (Year 9) through to the most advanced A-level projects, pupils develop their ability to define a problem, work out how to address it, and then create and test a solution. Programming skills and theory give pupils access to more complex, interesting puzzles.
Offers are conditional on GCSE (or IGCSE) grades. Candidates are expected to achieve at least eight passes including English and Mathematics, at least six should be grade 8 or 9, with no more than one grade 6 and the rest being a minimum of grade 7.
Students study for the AQA specification, relishing the opportunity to write code as part of the exam (“that was hard, but it was fun!”) and to engage with a substantial project for A Level. Computer Scientists are often, but not always, good mathematicians and the AQA course certainly appeals to the mathematically able. We also offer the Further Maths module on Discrete Maths which is attractive to many looking to apply to University to read Computing.
