Computing

Introduction

At KPHS, the Computing curriculum develops students’ digital literacy, programming skills, and understanding of technology’s impact on society. Students explore a broad range of topics, including algorithms, data representation, online safety, and problem-solving, preparing them for further study and life in a digital world.

Our curriculum encourages creativity, logical thinking, and collaboration, supporting all students to make progress and gain confidence in using technology. By the time they leave KPHS, students are responsible, skilled digital citizens with the knowledge and resilience to succeed in further education, careers, and everyday life.
