At KWS, our Computer Science curriculum is designed to inspire young minds by giving them the knowledge to harness technology to solve problems, support and empower them. The curriculum is built on the 3 strands Computer Science, Information Communication Technology and Digital Literacy.
Computer Science links with Maths, Science and Design and Technology, during KS3 we provide students with a solid springboard to GCSE computer science, developing skills in Data Representations, Mobile Apps and Programming combined with a greater understanding of the role of computers in society. Students can Understand, Evaluate and Analyse fundamental concepts of Computer Science at KS4.
