This Computer Science course will above all else be relevant to the modern and changing world of computing. The course will: - Focus on programming, building on the GCSE Computer Science course and emphasize the importance of computational thinking as a discipline. - Have an expanded math's focus, much of which will be embedded within the course. - Put computational thinking at its core, helping students to develop the skills to solve problems, design systems and understand human and machine intelligence. - Allow students to apply the academic principles learned in the classroom to real world systems in an exciting and engaging manner. - Give students a clear progression into higher education, as the course was designed after consultation with members of BCS, CAS and top universities. Career Opportunities: Programmer, Software Engineer, Web Designer, IT Management
At least five grade 9–4 at GCSE or equivalent at L2 In addition the required entry criteria for each of the courses they wish to study in the Sixth Form, some of the courses offered may require a higher GCSE grade in a particular subject or subjects
The A Level will consist of three components, two of which will be externally marked question papers making up 80% of the qualification. The other 20% will be the coursework project, which will retain its current qualities but will be more focused, with a greater emphasis on coding and programming with a simple assessment model and marking criteria.
