computing

Studying Computing, students will secure these skills:
  • develop knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts of Computing
  • develop creative and technical skills, eg designing algorithms and computer programming
  • gain an awareness of the impact of computing on individuals, society and the environment, including ethical, legal and ownership issues
  • expand their ability to problem-solve, think critically, analyse and evaluate
  • work both independently and collaboratively
  • understand current and emerging technologies

The GCSE course is divided into three parts which cover both theory and practical aspects.  
  • Computer Systems - written paper, 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Computational Thinking, Algorithms and Programming - written paper, 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Programming project

In just a few years Computer Science has progressed from a new, exciting innovation to a mainstay of modern living.  Students studying other subjects at any level will employ computing to some degree.  Understanding and studying the creativity and engineering behind this versatile tool will enhance learning and presentation across the curriculum.  

A computing qualification opens up many career paths in the industry of Computing itself but also many others eg, Finance, Engineering, Media, Military, Security, Architecture and healthcare.
