Our Computer Science runs the AQA specification which puts computational thinking at its core, helping students to develop the skills to solve problems, design systems and understand human and machine intelligence. The key features of the Computer Science course include problem solving using computers, computer programming and algorithms and mathematical skills used to express computational laws and processes e.g. Boolean algebra / logic and algorithm comparison.
- There is a much greater emphasis on maths and problem solving for this new specification and students must have at least a grade 6 in Maths or a 6 in Computer Science (If studied) at GCSE. Students should be aware that there is a clear pathway from GCSE computer science to A Level and having gained a GCSE in the subject is an advantage but not necessary. - 6 x grade 4 GCSEs in a range of subjects to include English and Maths
Assessment is by end of course exams and an internal assessment.
