Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above including English Language and Mathematics.
Year 1: Students will be introduced to computer programming in Python where they will work on a series of mini projects to develop their problem-solving and analysis skills to identify solutions that can be developed into computer programs. Students will be expected to solve realistic problems and understand their business context. Students will also gain an appreciation of emerging technology and innovation and the legislation that surrounds the Digital sector. Data analysis is introduced as well as consideration of Digital environments such as physical, virtual and cloud.
Year 2: The second year will see students taking on larger software development projects where within a business context they will gain the skills to produce a proposal for their own digital solution identifying risks, functional, and nonfunctional requirements. To meet their proposed requirements students will then create technical designs for their user interfaces, data and algorithms. Students will then further develop their programming skills to build and test their proposed application using a variety of software whilst gaining an understanding of user and technical requirements.
