We follow the OCR GCSE and A Level specifications. Our GCSE and A Level results are outstanding, as you would expect from an academically selective school with high aspirations for all pupils.

The department believes strongly in enrichment and extension and in all our teaching we aim to build critical thinking, confidence, independence and a love of Computer Science.
