Computing: Subject Leader Network

Each term the subject leader network meeting has a different theme and each session is highly influenced by current curriculum and technology exploration and developments. We hope the sessions will enable you to keep on top of these developments and help to inform your subject leadership role and classroom planning.

· Help you to keep up to date with national and local developments including resources

· Share examples of ways in which schools have built and developed their school curriculum for Computing, including planning in cross curricular opportunities.

· Provide you with the opportunity to network with teachers from other schools and share experiences, approaches and resources.

· Explore an aspect of the computing curriculum in more detail.

Thank you again for the training you delivered to us this week - we both found it extremely useful. and we were buzzing with ideas after we left the session. It was exactly what we were looking for. We are both looking forward to the next session.

I think the training was very carefully planned and pitched well to the participants. I can’t think of any ways to improve.

Thanks so much for the fantastic session yesterday; staff have been singing your praises all day. I think we all want you to come and work at our school!
