Computer Science has changed the world and will continue to innovate how we live our daily lives forever. We rely on technology each and every day, you are using technology to read this online right now! But what are computers? How do they work? Exactly how are you reading this on your screen?

Computer Science is an exciting and dynamic subject which challenges you to think differently and creatively to solve problems. Advances in computing are transforming the way we work. This course covers the fundamentals of computer science and develops a high level of programming skills. You will study how computers work - from understanding hardware to the way data is stored and processed.

Almost half the course is practical. You will spend a lot of time learning how to program and in Year 13 you will complete a project focusing on area of coding you find interesting to solve a problem.

We want aim to inspire you in Computer Science by having lots of kit you can use including a robot, Raspberry Pis and giving you the opportunity to mentor other students. Our Computer Science team are passionate in helping you achieve and to develop your skills to help you further your Computing career.
