Advanced PSP Computer Science - Excelsa

Excelsa students demonstrate exceptional computational fluency and vision. Their NEA projects are innovative, technically complex, and driven by genuine user needs — incorporating features such as dynamic data handling, layered security, or interactive front-end development. They write code with precision, manage development cycles using professional tools, and communicate their solutions with clarity and insight.

They represent the school in national competitions (e.g. the British Informatics Olympiad, First Lego League), and lead subject initiatives, such as mentoring younger students or founding co-curricular tech clubs. Their contribution to Computer Science is both lasting and inspiring.
