Grades 4 & 5 (elective)
The aim of the course is to get students working with real-world programming and provides a good understanding of the fundamental principles of computing. The programming language taught is Python 3. The students are expected to demonstrate their knowledge of the syllabus by preparing a solution to a set problem which is part of the GCSE (9-1) Examination taken via the AQA Board (8520).

Grades 6 & 7 (elective)
Students are expected to develop a deep understanding of computers and skills of critical analysis. Emphasis is given to the development of software and the implementation of tools and methods. The course also covers system engineering and computer architecture. The students are expected to demonstrate their knowledge of the syllabus by preparing a project which is part of the GCE Advanced Level Examination. A-Level Computer Science is taken via the AQA Board (7517).
