Computing is a subject that by its nature requires boys to consider individual, moral, ethical, social, cultural and contemporary issues. Computers are widely used in all aspects of government, business, industry, education, leisure and the home. In this increasingly technological age a study of Computing, and particularly how computers are used in the solution of a variety of problems, is not only valuable to the students themselves but also essential to the future wellbeing of the country. Computing integrates well with subjects across the curriculum. It demands both logical discipline and imaginative creativity in the selection and design of algorithms and the writing, testing and debugging of programs; it relies on an understanding of the rules of language at a simple level; it encourages an awareness of the management and organisation of computer systems; it extends the students horizons beyond the school or college environment in the appreciation of the effects of computer applications on society and individuals. For these reasons, Computing is as relevant to a student studying Arts subjects, as it is to one studying Science subjects. The study of Computing encompasses a substantial accepted body of knowledge. A purpose of the A Level examinations in Computing is to recognise this with a reputable qualification that is relevant to a student who intends to pursue a career in the Arts or Sciences, as well as Computing.
