Would you like to become a Digital Schoolhouse Lead Teacher? 

Applications are open to recruit new Digital Schoolhouse Lead Schools for 2023-2024. 

Applications close Friday 31 March at midnight.

So, how does this tried and tested method work? 

  1. Primaries, Secondaries and FE colleges apply to join the programme. There is no cost associated with being a Schoolhouse. 
  2. Successful Schoolhouses are eligible to receive a bursary up to £3000 to support delivery of the programme, alongside resources, accredited CPD and training from us along the way.
  3. Schoolhouses deliver curriculum-aligned Computing workshops to local Primary schools. 

Primary pupils and teachers are taught simple, accessible methods for delivering Computer Science in class, through participation in workshop(s). Primary teachers feel more equipped and empowered to deliver Computer Science, sharing what they have learnt with their colleagues.
