# Computing

### Computing Curriculum

At Hope High School, our aim in Computing is for pupils to develop a strong understanding of the fundamental principles and concepts of the subject, including abstraction, logic, algorithms, and data representation. Students will learn to analyse problems in computational terms and gain practical experience in writing computer programs to solve such challenges.

They will also learn to evaluate and apply information technology, including new or unfamiliar technologies, using analytical approaches to problem-solving. We aim for our pupils to become responsible, competent, confident, and creative users of information and communication technology.
