## About this tender

The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) is funded by the Department for Education and marks a significant investment in improving the provision of computing education in England.

Run by a consortium made up of STEM Learning, the Raspberry Pi Foundation and BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, our vision is to achieve a world-leading computing education for every child in England.

We provide high-quality support for the teaching of computing in schools and colleges, from Key Stage 1 through to A level. Our extensive range of training, resources and support covers elements of the curriculum at every Key Stage, catering for all levels of subject knowledge and experience.

With an overall ambition to train over 7,000 teachers to be confident in teaching computer science, the CS Champion will be a key role in raising awareness of the CS Accelerator Programme and providing support across their region. They will report directly to a NCCE Programme team member supporting all local Computing Hubs in meeting their local and indeed the national KPIs. Oversight of the CS Champions will be provided by the CSA Programme Manager.

The CS Champion function can be taken up by one person or shared between several people. This will be based on the region's needs analysis, secondary experience needed and the reach the CS Champion needs to achieve.

Each region will look and feel different based on that region and a Computing Hubs circumstances, based on number of schools teaching Computer Science within a local region and the distribution of teachers.

The National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) will support the CS Champions in their role with expertise and guidance on CS Accelerator Programme.
