Shell Guide to the Curriculum 2023

Computer Science We are excited to be teaching Computer Science in the Shell year for the first time. We have new, purpose-built facilities in the Christie Centre and have planned an exciting array of projects. The focus of the course will be on coding and programming to solve real world problems in the School and the community. Pupils will tackle these practical tasks individually and in small groups. Building adaptive greenhouses that can detect temperature and climactic conditions is just one example of the sort of project on which you will work. The aim of these projects is to give Shells an excellent grounding in coding and informatics, leaving them ready to embark on the GCSE course or to apply their skills outside of the classroom.
