Empowering Teachers: Inspiring Young Minds

We are proud to share the latest BCS report that celebrates the incredible achievements of the CAS community and outlines our aims for the future.

Since its inception in 2008, CAS has grown from a grassroots movement into a nationwide force, reaching 90% of UK schools and supporting over 3.5 million pupils. This success is a testament to the dedication of our volunteers, educators, and partners who work tirelessly to ensure every child has access to high-quality computing education.
