Computational thinking has impact on such a wide variety of fields, from the sciences through to linguistics or statistics. We aim to give our students a real and in-depth understanding of how computer technology works.
re-enforces academically rigorous principles and provides excellent preparation for higher study and employment in the field of computer science.
Enabling in-depth computing knowledge
We strive in all our courses, from Year Seven right up to A Level, to encourage the processes that support critical thinking, analysis and problem-solving. Also, to promote independent learning and to produce engaged learners. Our subject is taught in a practical way. Invention and resourcefulness are encouraged.
Not only do our courses look at using IT-based systems, but we also strive to understand what is involved in developing them from scratch too. The subject re-enforces academically rigorous principles and provides excellent preparation for higher study and employment in the field of Computer Science.
Subject content is varied, ranging from cyber security and data structures to IT architecture and communication protocols. But above all else, we are encouraging our learners to have a go at coding!
