If you are new to leading computing in your school, or you’ve been doing it for a while, I am here to help! I have recently been appointed as the NCCE National Specialist in Primary Computing Leadership.
Below you will see the ‘Primary Computing Leadership Journey’ I have created; a suggested route that takes you from activities that need to be prioritised when you first pick up the role, through to more detailed and deeper exploration in some of the finer aspects of computing. If you click on this image you will be able to access the live Leadership Journey, where you can click on any of the leadership stages and incremental features for more information, CPD, resources and ideas. You don’t have to explore each aspect in this particular order, but it might serve as a good place to start!
I have also created a Computing Leadership Page full of useful links to CPD, online communities and networks, advice, ideas and a space for you to tell us what your most pressing needs are:

Thank you to those of you who completed the primary leaders survey, I have collated the results and provided links to helpful CPD, resources and ideas for your consideration:
