Computers touch nearly every aspect of our everyday lives. The most important aspect of Computer Science is being able to solve problems. This is an incredibly useful transferable skill. This course enables students to understand the core academic principles of Computer Science, developing their technical understanding as well as their analytical and problem solving abilities. The non-examined assessment (programming project) gives the student an opportunity to build on programming skills that they have developed at KS3 & KS4 to solve a suitable practical problem of their own choosing. Giving them real experience of project managing a programming task.
Paper 1: Programming exam 2 hours 30 minutes 40% of the A level Paper 2: Subject content exam 2 hours 30 minutes 40% of the A level Non-exam assessment/Programming Project Students will solve or investigate a practical problem using a systematic approach 20% of the A level
