Statement of intent Key Stage 5 - Year 12 Subject: Computer Science Academic Year: Computer Science is the study of principles and practices that underpin an understanding and modelling of computation, and of their application in the development of computer systems. At its heart lies the notion of computational thinking: a mode of thought that goes well beyond software and hardware, and that provides a framework within which to reason about systems and problems. This mode of thinking is supported and complemented by a substantial body of theoretical and practical knowledge, and by a set of powerful techniques for analysing, modelling and solving problems. Computer Science is deeply concerned with how computers and computer systems work, and how they are designed and programmed. Students studying computing gain insight into computational systems of all kinds, whether or not they include computers. It allows us to solve problems, design systems and understand the power and limits of human and machine intelligence. It is a skill that empowers, and that all Students should be aware of and have some competence in. Furthermore, students who can think computationally are better able to conceptualise and understand computer-based technology, and so are better equipped to function in modern society. Students will develop an ability to analyse, critically evaluate and make decisions. The project approach is a vital component of ‘post‐school’ life and is of particular relevance to Further Education, Higher Education and the workplace. Each student will be able to tailor their project to fit their individual needs, choices and aspirations.
