S2 Computing Science

In S2, whilst continuing to develop and use their digital literacy skills, pupils will focus fully on creating new digital technology using code.

Coding will progress from applications such as Robomind and Scratch as pupils learn to write programs using the text-based coding environment of Livecode.

Pupils will begin to incorporate more advanced HTML and CSS coding into their websites as well as beginning to make use of some simple JavaScript to create interactive websites.

As they explore database development, pupils will learn to write SQL code to perform search and sort operations on databases.

Pupils will continue to keep an eye on current developments in technology and the latest devices as well as paying close attention to the new and emerging careers in the digital sector.
