Computing & IT​

Head of Department:Mrs L Allgar

King James’s School, we encourage all students to make the most of our ICT facilities, knowing how essential it is for them to develop strong computing and digital skills in today’s technology-driven world. 

In Years 7, 8, and 9, students are taught by specialist teachers who help them build advanced skills that will benefit them in a digital society. The curriculum covers key areas such as creative digital skills, programming, digital graphics, spreadsheets, website design, and understanding how computers work. It also emphasizes online safety and responsible digital citizenship—ensuring students are well-prepared for the challenges of the digital age. 

At Key Stage 4, students have the option to study GCSE Computer Science or Creative iMedia. These courses offer hands-on learning experiences that foster creative thinking and problem-solving skills that are increasingly important as technology continues to evolve and shape the future. For post-16 students, A Level Computer Science is available, allowing them to deepen their computational thinking. This course focuses on complex problem-solving, system design, and a deeper understanding of computing concepts, all of which are critical in today’s fast-paced digital world. 

These courses not only enhance important digital and computing skills, but they also prepare students for higher education and careers where these abilities are more valuable than ever. In a world increasingly influenced by technology, mastering these skills is key to helping students thrive in future careers and adapt to new challenges.
