At the Royal Harbour Academy, we believe that our students should have the opportunity to follow an IT and computing curriculum that prepares them for life in a modern world and take advantage of the ever-increasing demand for IT Professionals.
Having strong IT skills enables students to engage with the modern workplace, while Computer Science skills enables students to take an active part in the design, development and creation of new technologies to be used beyond being a consumer of technology.
We provide a broad range of skills and experiences at KS3, which are then further developed as students enter KS4 and then extended to KS5.
Students have the opportunity to Study Digital information Technologies, which allows students to acquire technical knowledge and technical skills through vocational contexts by studying the knowledge, understanding and skills, related to data management, data interpretation, data presentation and data protection as part of their Key Stage 4 learning.
Students can choose to Study Computer Science at GCSE where they will go on to develop key problem solving skills useful in a range of disciplines as well as the coding and software development skills that will give them an opportunity to work or for further study in the developing area seen to be key in the modern world.
