CAS Regional Community: East of England

Welcome to your CAS Regional Community!

Welcome to the landing page for the East of England Regional Community! Whether you have been the Subject Leader for Computing for a long time, or a very short time, we hope you will find this space a useful place to "bookmark" so you can find the support you need, when you need it.

Our meetings will aim to provide an informal space for sharing ideas and issues and to inspire you to try something new in your setting, so we hope you will hit the "Join Community" button now to ​receive updates on what we are up to. 

What are you finding most challenging about the role of Computing Subject Lead at the moment? There might be someone on here who can share what's worked for them in the past, or who would love to work together with you to find a solution (or workaround!)
