The Computer Science curriculum at Southend High School for Boys.
Computer Science
Computer Science equips students with the knowledge and skills required to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Students develop computational thinking, programming expertise and problem-solving abilities while gaining understanding of the systems that underpin modern technology.
The curriculum encourages students to become creators of technology rather than simply consumers of it.
In the classroom
Students experience Computer Science through programming, algorithm design, computational thinking, digital systems, cyber security and problem solving. Practical programming is central to learning and enables students to create, test and refine solutions independently.
Year by year
How pupils are assessed
