01

What pupils study in Computer Science

Knowledge · dialogue · feedback · mastery

The course develops computational thinking, programming and the principles behind digital systems. The current Pearson specification, entry route and assessment arrangements govern each cohort and are confirmed by the school.

  • Algorithms and problem solving

  • Programming concepts and data structures

  • Data, hardware and software

  • Networks, cybersecurity and wider impacts

02

How live teaching supports progress

Teachers explain ideas, question pupils and respond to misconceptions in real time. Guided practice, independent work and feedback make the next step visible before gaps become established.

03

Assessment and examination preparation

Pupils learn the knowledge and skills defined by the current specification, practise applying them to unfamiliar material and prepare for formal Pearson Edexcel assessment. The school confirms the relevant papers, examination series and entry arrangements.

04

Progression after International GCSE

Subject choices are considered as a complete programme. Results, interests and later university or career intentions inform the move into International A Levels or another suitable post-16 route.

05

Is Computer Science the right choice?

Logical thinking, persistence with debugging and regular practical programming are central. Final option combinations depend on the current timetable, sufficient demand and the academic team’s confirmation.
