Computer Science

We are excited to be offering Computer Science at St Edward’s for the first time this year. We have new, purpose-built facilities in the Christie Centre and have planned an exciting array of projects in which pupils will stretch their knowledge and skills.

For the Shells, the focus of the course will be on coding and programming to solve real world problems in the School and the community. Pupils will tackle these practical tasks individually and in small groups. Building adaptive greenhouses that can detect temperature and climactic conditions is just one example of the sort of project on which they will work. The aim of these projects is to give Shells an excellent grounding in coding and informatics, leaving them ready to embark on the GCSE course or to apply their skills outside of the classroom.
