The Castle School is proud to provide support for primary and secondary computing teachers in schools in the area, via Castle Digital Hub.
Castle Digital Hub provides a focal point for local computing training for schools, and also forms links with industry and universities. Since November 2018, we have been working to increase the number of pupils in schools and colleges who study computer science at GCSE, AS and A level, particularly girls and those in disadvantaged areas, and to ensure that there is a strong pipeline of digital skills in England.
‘A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world. Computing has deep links with mathematics, science and design and technology, and provides insights into both natural and artificial systems’ Statutory guidance, National Curriculum in England: Computing Programmes of Study
Castle Digital Hub delivers Computing CPD to teachers with differing levels of expertise in Computer Science. Whether you are a Computer Science teacher in need of a refresher, a non-specialist teacher that has been tasked to support Computer Science delivery in your school or a teacher that is interested in improving Computer Science provision across the key stages, we have a course that can support your learning and confidence in teaching.
