Computer Science A Level
at Chatham & Clarendon Grammar School, Ramsgate · school or sixth form
What the college says
Computer Science is the study of how computers and computer systems work, and how they are constructed and programmed. Computer Science develops a particularly systematic and logical approach to thinking about complex problems, called computational thinking. Programming takes computational thinking skills and empowers students to take charge of computers and create new software of their own, rather than to consume things made by others. This ability unleashes enormous creativity, drives innovation, and opens up completely new horizons and possibilities.
