Computing Science

 Computing Science, we recognise that the future lies in technology. Our aim is to equip students with the skills needed to thrive in a technology-driven world. We focus on developing a range of abilities, including problem-solving, computational thinking, decomposition, and creativity.

BGE (Broad General Education)

In S1, we introduce students to Digital Literacy, where they explore and utilise a variety of digital technologies. Students learn how to search, process, and manage information responsibly, while also gaining important knowledge about cyber resilience and internet safety.

In S2 and S3, the focus shifts to Computing Science, where students build a deeper understanding of the digital world through computational thinking. They also learn to analyse computing technology and design, build, and test computing solutions.

Key topics covered include:

• Web Design and Development
• Cyber Security
• Software Design and Development
• Computer Systems
• Database Design and Development

In S4-S6, students further develop their knowledge and skills to succeed in National Qualifications. We offer a diverse range of courses covering different aspects of Computing Science, enabling students to specialise and advance.

Course offered include:

• National 4 Computing Science
• National 5 Computing Science
• Games Development (National Progression Award)
• Higher Computing Science
• Advanced Higher Computing Science
