“Computer science involves a number of disciplines: designing and developing computer software, devising new ways to use computers, developing effective ways to solve computer problems, planning and managing organisation technological infrastructure.” - BCS Glossary of Computing and ICT 13th edition. The A-level in Computer Science will encourage students to develop an understanding of, and the ability to apply, the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation. The ability to analyse problems in computational terms through practical experience of solving such problems, including writing programs to do so. The capacity for thinking creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically. The capacity to see relationships between different aspects of computer science. Mathematical skills related to: Boolean algebra, comparison and complexity of algorithms, number representations and bases. The ability to articulate the individual (moral), social (ethical), legal and cultural opportunities and risks of digital technology.
