Department Vision 

In computing we ensure all students, whatever their ability, have access to the skills and knowledge they need to flourish in an increasingly digital world; to prepare them for the challenges that a digital future will afford them and enable them to be confident, independent learners.

It is also our intention that all students are nurtured in the ways of being safe users of social media and the world wide web so that they use it responsibly while demonstrating how to be a good online citizen. We want them to use the technology for good; to be creative, and to learn about the world outside of Kidderminster.

On a day-to-day basis computing and computer science lessons aim to inspire young minds with the capabilities of the digital world whilst inspiring a feeling or awe and wonder.
