Our Computer Science (CS) department has switched to the latest Edexcel GCSE syllabus, which examines candidates via real Python programming tasks ‘onscreen’.  

This is a major step up from other paper-based CS exams, giving the school valuable experience with onscreen assessments as exams move from paper to digital. Our pupils also enjoyed the more ‘real-world’ nature of the exams.

In recognition of this forward-thinking approach, our Computer Science centre has been awarded the prestigious Computer Science ‘Innovator’ Credly badge.

Credly, a globally recognised digital credentialing platform, issues badges to institutions that successfully deliver Pearson’s onscreen assessments. This badge highlights the school’s achievement in delivering the GCSE (9-1) Computer Science (1CP2) Paper 2 onscreen and underscores the centre’s commitment to innovative education.

By earning this badge, Gresham’s has aligned itself with a trusted credentialing platform, enhancing the value and credibility of the achievements earned by the centre.
