[Informatics] Combined Y11IT and Informatics Classes

[Mark]

Units 1 and 2 are not substantially different in content or level of
difficulty to a lovechild of Info+SD.

Schools who can't run all units will often offer Info one year, and SD the
next. Then back to Info.

Kids can benefit because they can claim a unit 3/4 subject during their
relatively-quiet time in year 11.

Regards,
Mark
