Computing (Key Stage 4) | Rainhill High School

Computing (Key Stage 4)

At KS4 students have the option of two different subject pathways, should they wish to progress further in our subject. For those that are technically and logically minded who enjoy programming and computing concepts, GCSE Computer Science is the perfect match. However, should students wish to explore the more creative side of computing and digital literacy, the OCR Cambridge National in iMedia, a blend of both ICT and Media, is offered.
