This article addresses an error regarding the teaching of Computer Science at KS4, clarifying that ICT should only be used for vocational awards. It provides a resolution to ensure that the subject is correctly set to Computer Science in the school system.
Error Message: Normally 'Computer Science' should be taught at KS4, rather than 'ICT'. ICT should only be used for vocational awards, as the ICT GCSE was withdrawn in 2015. Please check that this subject is not actually 'Computer Science'
Resolution:
Head to School > Programmes > Courses > Table View. Ensure that the Subject for any Year 10 or 11 Computer Science courses is set to Computer Science and not Information & Communication Technology. You can use the bulk actions on the left-hand side to adjust this quickly.
