Computing | Computer Science Thriving in a digital world Go Go Our Computing curriculum intends to: Develop pupils' understanding of Computer Science, Information Technology and Digital Literacy in order to prepare all pupils to thrive in an increasingly digital world. Develop these strands to enable pupils to apply computational thinking to be better problem solvers. Enable pupils to be confident users of IT, applying IT effectively to real world situations and to know how they and others can use IT safely. Computing All subjects use Computing as part of their curriculum access and delivery. Pupils will develop their knowledge often by using focused research requiring effective use of the internet, as well as having the opportunity to develop their IT literacy and capability using subject relevant applications, particularly in Maths, Design & Technology and Media. Most subjects make use of Computing for effective home learning management, exam preparation and revision, helping to develop skills required for both GCSE and beyond. The GCSE Computer Science course will develop and apply analytic, problem-solving, design, and computational thinking skills. In addition, aspects of these skills are developed within other subjects including Maths and Science. The Personal Development lessons focus on the safety aspects and reporting of concerns. At Key Stage 4, the Computing curriculum is delivered through a combination of Computing lessons, integration with other subjects and through personal development lessons. Why Learn Computing? A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with maths, science and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems. The core of computing is computer science, in which pupils are taught the principles of information and computation, how digital systems work and how to put this knowledge to use through programming. Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate, able to express themselves and develop their ideas through information and communication technology, at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world. Computer Science has real relevance in our modern world. The course will give an in-depth understanding of how computer technology works and a look at what goes on behind the scenes. The course provides excellent preparation for higher study and employment in the field of Computer Science. The increasing importance of information technologies means there is a growing demand for professionals who are qualified in this area.

Observational skills Throughout their study of the qualification, pupils should develop their observational skills. Pupils must undertake at least one aided and one unaided observation. Pupils will need to use their knowledge and understanding of observational techniques and procedures in the written assessments. How will the course run? GCSE Astronomy is a full GCSE that will be additional to any options that your child will already be taking. The course will be taught twice a week after school between 3-4pm by the Science Department during the course of year 10 and 11. The course will run if there is sufficient interest by the pupils. There may also be a small cost involved to cover the cost of equipment needed and the exam entries. This course is ideal for those pupils who have an innate love of all things space and are interested in our place in the Universe.

Parent & Staff Association (PSA) Welcome to the Westgate School Parent & Staff Association (PSA) The PSA is a community of parents and school colleagues who meet informally to raise funds for pupil well-being across The Westgate School. As well as fundraising, we plan events to bring our Westgate community together. These include Summer and Christmas fairs, discos, quiz nights, and more! We also run a popular second-hand uniform shop for both upper and lower school uniform. In the last year we have raised nearly £50,000 to support our mission “to advance the education of the pupils of the school”. Funds have been spent on three new gazebos, replacement football goal posts, Bug Club subscriptions, school hall acoustic improvements, the cathedral carol concert, prefect ties, and more. Can you help to make it happen? We promise this doesn't have to take loads of your time - just as much as you're willing to give.
