At A-level Computer Science students look at the natural world through a digital prism. Students will build upon the fundamental concepts of Computer Science and understand the relationships between them. Students will use mathematical skills to express computational laws and processes, such as Boolean algebra and the complexity of algorithms. They will analyze problems in computational terms through practical experience of developing and programming their own projects. Year 1 - A Level ➢ Components of a computer ➢ Systems software ➢ Software development ➢ Programming Techniques ➢ Algorithms ➢ Data types ➢ Legal, moral, ethical & cultural issues ➢ Programming Project- 20% Year 2 – A Level ➢ Networks & web technologies ➢ Data structures ➢ Exchanging Data ➢ Computational thinking ➢ Boolean Algebra
Must attain five 9 - 5 grades in full course GCSE subjects including Maths and English Language or Literature. No vocational subjects allowed to count in the five 9 – 5 grades. Indivdual subject critera also applies. English Lang/ Lit – 5, Maths – 7, Computer Science- 7, if taken.
Units Studied: Computer systems Algorithms & computational thinking Composition of qualification: 40% Paper 1 exam 40% Paper 2 exam 20% NEA (programming project)
