Computer Science

Computer Science is a dynamic and ever-evolving field that sits at the heart of the modern world. At MGS, we provide a comprehensive and engaging Computer Science education that equips our students with the skills and knowledge to thrive in this exciting landscape.

Our curriculum is designed to foster computational thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. Students learn a range of programming concepts, explore algorithms and data structures, and delve into the theoretical foundations of computer science.

We emphasise hands-on learning, encouraging students to apply their knowledge through projects, coding challenges, and real-world applications.

We are proud of our students' achievements in various national competitions, including:

• Bebras: An international computational thinking challenge.
• OUCC (Oxford University Coding Challenge): A prestigious coding competition testing students' programming abilities.
• Perse Coding Challenge: Another challenging competition that pushes students to solve complex problems using code.
• Informatics Olympiad: The pinnacle of competitive computer science, where the most talented students compete on a national and international stage.

Beyond the classroom, our department offers a vibrant array of extracurricular activities, including:

• Lower School and Middle School Code Club: Provides a fun and supportive environment for younger students to learn coding basics.
• Web Development Club: Allows students to explore the world of web design and development, building their own websites and applications.
• CyberSoC: Our Sixth Form Computer Science society, which organises talks, workshops, and events related to computer science.

Our dedicated teaching staff bring a wealth of experience to the classroom, inspiring students to pursue their passions in computer science and equipping them with the skills to excel in higher education and beyond. Whether students aspire to become software engineers, data scientists, cybersecurity analysts, or entrepreneurs, our Computer Science program provides a strong foundation for their future success.
