Computing

Computing is the engine that powers modern thinking.

A place to inspire you to: think logically; solve real problems; create with confidence; understand the digital world; work collaboratively; persevere through challenge; and shape the future—not just use it.

‘Computing equips students with the skills to understand, use, and shape the digital world. Through computer science, information technology, and digital literacy, students learn how digital systems work, how to solve problems through programming, and how to create digital content confidently and responsibly. With strong links to mathematics, science, and design and technology, Computing develops logical thinking, creativity, and essential skills for future study, work, and life in an increasingly digital society’. Adapted from National Curriculum, DfE, 2014.

We will endeavour to engage and excite you in developing a lifelong curiosity for Computing and digital learning. We will equip you with rich, progressive knowledge and mastery skills across computer science, ICT, and the effective use of software. You will learn to think logically, use abstraction and algorithms, and apply data and programming to solve real problems. You will design, create, and evaluate digital programs, systems, and content using a range of software and emerging technologies. You will develop the confidence to analyse problems, reflect critically on your work and the work of others, and become a responsible, creative, and competent user of technology in an ever-changing digital society.
