The school has entered a significant building programme where all areas of this well-established school will be brought up to the very highest standards. The department is eager to improve the standards and ‘passion’ of IT and computing for all students.
We currently teach GCSE from year 9, spreading the demands of the specification over three years, offering the best opportunity for students to fully master all topics. IT and Computer Science is a very popular subject at GCSE and A-Level. At present, there are nine groups in KS4 and four groups in KS5 and with the increasing numbers to the school, the IT and Computer Science team want to build on the positive exam success of previous years.
The school’s distinctive ethos and culture where a truly holistic view of the personal development of the child is central to all that we do. The wider ‘enrichment’ programme at this all-through 4-19 boarding and day school is essential and helps develop confident pupils well equipped for life beyond the school. All staff contribute to this extensive programme with their personal interests and to join in with existing activities.
