The 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. ### PRIMARY FOCUS The focus of a primary SME is to engage and support schools in Local Authority Districts 5 or 6 within the hub region. They will support them by first analysing the needs of the school and its teachers before working with computing leads on an action plan to further develop their computing curriculum, this action plan can run over a 1-3 year period, using a purpose built, supportive toolkit. ### SECONDARY FOCUS The secondary focus is split into two main priorities: - Engage with and support schools who either do not currently offer GCSE computing science, or need some support in maintaining the subject at GCSE. SMEs will first work with senior leaders and then middle leaders to identify the barriers and needs of the school, before developing a comprehensive one year action plan, to ensure that school is in the best position to have GCSE CS as part of their provision moving forward. - Engage and support schools in Local Authority Districts 5 or 6 within the hub region.
