Need free access to a quality computing curriculum?

The Teach Computing Curriculum is unparalleled in it’s quality, national curriculum coverage and value (it’s free!) and is constantly being updated as technology and needs demand.

If you are a leader and want to switch to the Teach Computing Curriculum – which is becoming the industry standard for primary schools, or you’re thinking about it, or you’ve recently switched to it, then why not attend a free short online course introducing you to it?

Alternatively you might be a teacher who simply needs a bit of a heads up as to what the TCC is all about, or want to know more about assessment, resources or software.

Here are two options for you! The courses are led by two enthusiastic up and coming Professional Development Leaders and I’ll be on hand to answer any trickier questions:

Introduction to the Teach Computing Curriculum – Wednesday 20th March 3:45 – 5:15pm

Introduction to the Teach Computing Curriculum – Tuesday 26th Match 3:45 – 5:15pm

More info on the TCC here:

Furthermore, if you’re interested in learning all about assessment (and evidence) in primary computing, I will be delivering a one off remote version of the day course ‘Assessment in Primary Computing’. It’s the same full content as the face to face version, but done in the comfort of your own home!

Assessment of primary computing – Tuesday 23rd April 9:30 – 4pm

The Big Computing Leadership Conference – Wrap Up & Photos of 2023

What a fantastic conference! 174 primary and secondary leaders all under one roof, exploring, learning, networking and enjoying the breadth and depth of new technology, pedagogy, approaches and concepts. All this happened back in December 2023 at Oxford Brookes university, and we are very pleased to announce we are doing it all again in 2024 on December 12th at the same venue!

Booking links will come soon, but for now please save the date.

There will hopefully be other instances of this conference happening elsewhere in England; we are already supporting computing hubs up North, way out West and in the mid-East of England who are hoping to host this amazing opportunity for computing leaders. More news coming soon!

But for now, enjoy this video summary and see if you can spot yourself or anyone you know!

Also, please don’t forget we’ve got our Big Computing Leadership Chats coming up, book on here:
