Computing

Students study Computing from the start of KS3. We start with learning the essential skill of E-Safety, vital for any student planning on accessing computers independently. We also look at a range of ways to use computers from data-handling to game-design. This course is designed to build students up to the point where they feel capable to design their own programs to meet practical problems.

At KS4 Computing is a GCSE option and is included in the EBacc. A lot of the work is project based and contains many opportunities to develop understanding and skills through creating programs.
