BURY CE HIGH SCHOOL
A Church of England Academy with the vision to empower all students to let their light shine.

Computing 

Departmental Vision

Our vision is for students to develop a love of technology and acquire the knowledge and skills they need to access the ever-changing world of technology. We aim to develop computational thinking and problem solving to ensure our students are industry ready professionals to meet the challenges of the 21st century and create well-rounded and critically thinking individuals.

As well as this, students should gain essential IT skills such as word processing and presenting so that they are able to access further education and employment opportunities. These skills will be in demand in many non-technical fields and so it is essential the students have an opportunity to practice them.

Throughout the curriculum there is also an emphasis on being responsible and safe, ensuring that students are familiar with the risks and issues that surround the online world. Students should be aware of the type of behaviour that is expected from them when interacting online to become more responsible internet citizens.

As the world of work becomes increasingly automated, and computers take more of a place in our everyday lives, it is imperative that we equip the society of tomorrow with the skills and awareness to live and be comfortable with computers and technology.

In KS4, we offer three qualifications:

  • Computing GCSE
