What will I Study? Students will learn the Python programming language and use some features and techniques above GCSE level like Object Oriented Programming, Recursive Techniques, and advanced data structures and algorithms. These would be requirement for certain jobs like software developers. Some theory topics like databases and algorithmic analysis will feed into programming, but other more separate theory topics include advanced data representation, networks, cyber security, functional programming, and data analysis. All of which are useful for understanding Computing in real life and go far beyond the GCSE knowledge (although all GCSE content is recapped so no need to have studied it previously).
5 in English, 7 in Maths and a 7 in Computer Science if studies previously.
There are 2 exams, one of which is more theory heavy and one is more practical. The practical one is an on-screen programming paper which is based on a prerelease we study throughout Year 13. The exams are both 40% and are done at the end of Year 13. The remaining 20% is a coursework task which is where you create a programming project of your choice. In the past we have had apps, websites, and desktop applications made based on a variety of ideas, ranging from games to sports tracking to supporting a business. This coursework is started towards the end of Year 12.
