INQUISITIVE MINDS AND NEW SKILLS
Students follow a programme that covers both digital literacy and computer science. In the latter, an emphasis is put on algorithmic or computational thinking.
We teach girls to design and create code themselves, but we also give them the skills and understanding to solve problems in a wider context.
The digital literacy programme covers the risks and threats that the girls will face and the precautions that they need to take to operate safely in a digital world.
Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.

Pupils are taught the fundamentals of digital literacy, communication over digital networks, programming constructs (sequencing, selection and iteration), programming languages (scratch, JavaScript and Python), binary representations of numbers, characters and images, Boolean logic, simple algorithms, and an introduction to AI.
At GSCE level, the OCR GCSE in Computer Science is followed.
