Diversity and inclusion
We believe that every individual, and group of individuals, should feel included and encouraged when engaging with computing education. We make sure that diversity and inclusion is integral to our planning, our programmes and materials, the way we work and how we behave. Within a culture that champions diversity and promotes inclusion, we know we are better able to advance our vision.
Our offer
We provide teachers with a comprehensive range of evidence-informed, high-quality support, including free resources and training courses. Funding is available, including subsidies, to support supply cover for continuing professional development - to help them become inspirational computing teachers.
