Starting this year as a new Computing Lead?

Congratulations to everyone stepping into the role of Computing Subject Lead this term!

Taking on subject leadership is an exciting opportunity to shape how computing is taught and learned across your school. To support you in your new role, we’ve created dedicated Leaders’ Toolkits packed with practical guidance, strategies and resources.

Whether you’re leading in Primary or Secondary, these toolkits will help you develop a clear vision for computing, plan strategically, and lead with confidence

If you’ve just started as subject lead (or know someone who has), take a look at the toolkit that’s right for you – and set yourself up for success.
