Overview
The purpose of the ICT department at Withernsea High school is to provide an exciting insight into new technologies, how computers behave, operate and affect our lives. |

Almost every major challenge in the world turns to the use of computer science to solve problems; from medical research, education, supporting aid work in disaster areas, helping to create a sustainable environment, the logistics of moving products around the world, to the world of business and securing and managing the vast levels of data through visualisation, security and transmission; not to mention the world of media.
Computer Science graduates have a high earning capacity and on average are the highest earners upon graduation.
English is the language of choice for the computing industry, therefore careers across the world are open to graduates from British Universities.
