Computer Science is a practical subject where students can apply the academic principles learned in the classroom to real-world systems. It’s an intensely creative subject that combines invention and excitement, and can look at the natural world through a digital prism”. We would certainly believe in running a qualification at KEGS that meets these aims. It will be a dynamic course with experimentation and practical aspects that will challenge and engage. - The capacity to think creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. Mathematical skill will be a crucial component. - Become confident and fluent in all aspects of Computer Science, from hardware to software. - Learn to problem solve through careful abstraction, decomposition, construction and rigorous implementation. - In software terms, they will learn to develop code in more advanced programming languages (e.g. Java, alongside Python), as well as work on different computer platforms and operating systems.
1. An average GCSE/IGCSE points score of at least 6.625 across the best eight subjects. 2. Reformed grade 6 or higher must be achieved in GCSE Mathematics and English (regardless of whether or not these subjects are being followed to A Level). The English GCSE may be either English Language or English Literature. 3. A suitably high GCSE grade, usually reformed grade 7 or A or better, in each chosen subject of study. An 8 or higher is required to study A Level Mathematics; a 9 is required to study Further Maths. 4. Reformed grade 4 or higher must be achieved at GCSE in a modern foreign language (or Latin).
