Computer Science

ICT and Computer Science are popular subjects at
JPGS and as a result, the department has continued to
expand over recent years. We are constantly looking
to update and improve the courses we offer, to keep
up with the rapidly changing digital world around us.
We teach a range of skills at Key Stage 3, including
a mixture of both Computer Science and traditional
ICT-based modules. At Key Stage 4, we offer IGCSE
ICT and Computer Science, which serves as a platform
to Key Stage 5, where our pupils can choose Comput-
er Science at AS and A Level. All of our examinations
follow the Cambridge International curriculum.

Our pupils regularly achieve outstanding results,
which allows them to attend the most prestigious uni-
versities around the world. In recent years, the depart-
ment has flourished and allowed our pupils to attend
some of the best Universities in the world.
