Developing your understanding of programming, problem solving and computational thinking will allow you to navigate through an increasingly digital world. Computers are at the heart of our society, from medical systems and transportation to commerce and social networking. As you gain creative and technical skills in this discipline, you will be able to analyse and solve more complex real-world problems. Computer Science A level is very often required or recommended for university-level study of the subject but the problem-solving skills it fosters are applicable to many other degree disciplines.
We expect all pupils progressing from UV into the Sixth Form at Wycombe Abbey to achieve a minimum of six GCSE passes at grades 7, 8 or 9. A GCSE grade 7 or above is required for the subjects you wish to study at A level (excluding those subjects which are not offered at GCSE, although a grade 7 or above should be achieved in a subject which requires similar skills). Should a pupil not achieve this standard, a discussion will be held with the pupil, her parents and relevant staff members to support them in finding a suitable alternative route.
The first two units are assessed in two written examinations taken at the end of the Upper Sixth year, with the Programming Project assessed through a report (worth 20% of the A level).
