About ICT GCSE 

 

Our program offers a well-rounded and practical approach to teaching students essential digital skills. Here's a breakdown of the key points we will be focusing on at Horizon Learning:

​

• Skill Development: The program emphasises the development of crucial skills like data handling, which are applicable across a wide range of jobs in today's digital world. This aligns well with the increasing demand for digital literacy in various fields.

​

• Relevance in a Digital World: The curriculum acknowledges the importance of digital literacy in today's society and aims to equip students with the skills necessary to confidently operate in the digital realm.

​

• Transferable Skills: The qualification focuses on imparting relevant and transferable skills. Topics include digital devices, connectivity, responsible online behaviour, understanding the internet's impact on business, and effective software application usage.

​

• Programming Experience: The program offers practical programming experience through an onscreen assessment. This assessment method is flexible, allowing Horizon Learning to choose familiar Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for programming, thus providing students with hands-on experience in a comfortable environment.

​

• Structured Curriculum: The qualification is structured into six comprehensive topic areas, assessed through two externally-examined papers. One paper focuses on computational thinking, data, computers, networks, and computing's societal impact. The other assesses practical skills, including problem-solving through designing, writing, testing, and refining programs.

​

• Balanced Approach: The combination of written and practical elements in the qualification ensures a balanced learning experience, integrating theoretical understanding with practical application. This approach prepares students to have a holistic understanding of computer science.

​

• Facilities: Horizon Learning, has a state-of-the-art computer room dedicated to lessons and online exams, which is ideal for conducting the ICT course. This indicates a commitment to providing students with a conducive learning environment for their digital education.
