Computer Science has changed the world — and it will continue to shape the way we live for generations to come. We rely on technology every day; in fact, you're using it right now just to read this online! But what exactly is a computer? How does it work? And how is this text appearing on your screen?

Computer Science is a dynamic, exciting subject that challenges you to think differently and solve problems creatively. As technology continues to revolutionise the way we work, this course will equip you with a deep understanding of the fundamentals of computer science and develop your programming skills to a high level. You’ll explore everything from how hardware operates to how data is stored, processed, and used.

Almost half of the course is hands-on. You'll spend significant time learning to program, and in Year 13, you’ll complete a major project based on an area of coding that interests you — solving a real-world problem through your own design and innovation.

We aim to inspire you throughout your journey in Computer Science. You'll have access to a wide range of equipment, including programmable robots and Raspberry Pis, and opportunities to mentor other students. Our passionate and supportive Computer Science team are here to help you succeed and build the skills you need for a future in the ever-evolving world of technology.
