Academic Precision | Learn. Articulate. Achieve

 

About this course

A Level Computer Science demands more than subject knowledge, it requires intellectual discipline, depth of understanding, and the ability to express and apply knowledge with precision. It’s a significant step up from GCSE, where a methodical approach and strategic revision can guide students to strong results.

At A Level, there is no scaffold, no formula, no hiding behind rehearsed answers. Every mark is earned by demonstrating genuine understanding and applying it accurately to unfamiliar or real-world scenarios.

At FunTech, we go beyond teaching the syllabus. We begin with subject mastery, then teach your child how to analyse, articulate and justify their thinking with clarity in any context. With our expert teaching, structured lessons and consistent feedback, combined with your child’s commitment to the course, excellent results are not just possible but expected.

Our goal is to develop proactive, independent thinkers.


What your child will achieve

This course leads to a full A Level qualification in Computer Science (OCR), but its value goes far beyond the final grade.

The OCR specification is academically rigorous, with two challenging written exams and a 20-hour practical programming project. Along the way, your child will develop:

Technical Mastery

  • Advanced knowledge of programming, algorithms, data structures and computing theory
  • Skills to write, test and explain Python, including under exam conditions
  • A fully planned, coded and evaluated project for the non-exam assessment (NEA)

Academic Skills & Mindset

  • Precision in applying knowledge to unfamiliar or real-world scenarios
  • Ability to answer with logic, structure and relevance, not repetition
  • Greater independence, attention to detail and academic discipline
  • A shift from passive revision to confident, critical thinking

This course is about more than passing an exam; it’s about building the mindset and capabilities to think, code and solve problems independently.

FAQs

What does a virtual class mean?

A virtual class is a scheduled interactive online lesson delivered by FunTech.

How does the virtual class work?

All students receive a virtual orientation lesson before the start of their course.

For each lesson, your child will receive an email invitation containing a link allowing them to log onto our virtual classroom. We schedule a maximum of four students who are predominately based in the UK, however, a few of our students have moved abroad due to parents work commitments and therefore log in from further afield.

The lessons themselves are the exact same as is delivered in a physical classroom. Through our virtual classroom environment, your child has the option to raise their hand, ask questions and also speak to the other students in their class (though we do have a mute all option '- just in case!)

FunTech teachers are able to pass control of their monitor to an individual student or share it amongst all the students. With permission, we can take control of a students' monitor to demonstrate concepts, share common mistakes or outstanding work as we would in a physical classroom.
