Computing
The Broadoak computing curriculum equips students with the skills they need to thrive in our digital society. We explore key themes such as cyber security, networks, and programming which are all highly sort after skills in an ever-growing industry. As students progress through the course, their knowledge about the digital world and their place within it deepens, through the exploration of the ethical and cultural impact of technology. Students are also given the opportunity to express their computing creativity through topics like our Infographic unit, which encourages students to create infographics using digital design tools.
