Welcome to the
Teach Computing Bucks and Oxon Hub
Teach Computing Bucks and Oxon Hub
The Teach Computing Bucks and Oxon hub is part of a national network of 40 hubs set up in 2019 as part of a significant investment by the Department for Education to improve 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, the vision for NCCE (National Centre for Computing Education) is to achieve a world-leading computing education for every child in England.
St Clement Danes school was granted Teach Computing Hub status and the area covering Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire for both primary and secondary schools. The hub is run by three practising teachers who together have vast experience in both Computing and Science education and teaching.
Since 2019 we have been successfully running fully-funded training courses both face to face and remotely and offering generous bursaries for those who have attended. For more information on bursaries please see https://teachcomputing.org/bursary
We have also been engaging school via teach meets and linking into the existing CAS communities (Computing at schools) to ensure that teachers of computer science have fantastic (and nationally standardised) training as well as sets of resources and direct and immediate links to fellow teachers local to them for that on-going support.
Teach Computing Bucks and Oxon hub is the go-to place locally for support and training in all aspects of computing.
